A little story...

Hey, Please be kind I wanted to put a few ideas on here before I added them to my material!

So, Birmingham. What is there to do in Birmingham? Well you've got the Grand Union Canal.. Or Grand Union 'anal' as I noticed recently.

I thought someone had taken the 'c' off of the sign, but it turns out that there is acutally a grand union for anal enthusiasts.

I went down there the other day to see what all the fuss (and loud groaning) was about. But I had to sign up and before I could say lubricant I was paired with another 'anal enthusiast'. It was all happening pretty fast..

So I was thinking to myself, well get in.. this could work out ok!

But yeah, knowing my luck I was paired with an 84 year old.

Man.

And apparantly he doesn't take. So there I am, late for a gig getting done up the arse by an 84 year old man on a barge, freezing my nips off! The thing was I didnt want to offend any of them so I just let it happen.

So when we had finished up, or when he had finished up rather, I got off of the barge and started to walk back the way he came- the way I came. I went around the corner and heard some noise getting louder and it looked like a real party going on for a few boats.

THIS was the Union of anal enthusiasts. I did not know who the man on that random barge was, or how I fell into his little nest.. But apparantly his name is 'Anal Andy' and he tethers his barge next to the union areas to catch 'strays' like me.

So I guess the moral of this story is.. Dont go to Birmingham.

I thought it was structured and flowed well as a piece of standup, but seemed a bit too obsessed with anal to be funny.

Also, is your real name Peter Sutcliffe?

Erm no it isn't, sorry! And yeah I will try to stay a bit clearer of the anal track in future. (no metaphorical pun intended)

Agree with Ben, there's too much reliance on anal. Um, so to say.

A lot of the jokes don't look like jokes. It makes me think you're going to rely on the way you say them. The material needs to be tighter. Really work on fleshing it out.

I also think everyone has seen a 'anal' sign, along with 'Pubic toilets.' So you really have to put a new spin on it.
