Lee Lard is booked for the same venue I work wrestling shows in, promoted as "a side splitting night of Peter Kay style stand-up comedy", even with the show being billed as a Peter Kay tribute act. And he gets higher billing than us, the tosser.

Speaking of bad tributes my local casino have had their fair share of terrible acts. The one that took the biscuit was a couple of years ago when I was playing in a poker tournament which is on the second level of the building.

The rest break was coming up so I decided to beat the rush and headed downstairs to the smoking terrace for a tab. When I got to the bottom of the stairs there was this odd looking bloke loitering in the dark under the stairs wearing a startling shiny pink shirt with a perm which was aided by Grecian 2000, a horrible goatee beard and a tan that looked like he was baking in a desert for about 4 weeks; he was glowing! The guy must have been in his late fifties, so I thought that is one hell of a mid-life crisis and thought nothing of it.

Once I finished my cigarette I headed back in side and there was a PA announcement of "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr Lionel Richie" the bloke I saw in the shadows wanders on to the stage and it is clear as day he was blacked up. His voice was shocking as well, I think the entertainment director got the sack for booking that gig.

How to make a Peter Kay routine.

1.  Root through your parents attic.

2.  Locate an item you have not seen since the mid 80’s e.g. a green glass ashtray.

3.  Repeatedly shout the name of the object to your audience who have paid too fucking much for this shite e.g.”GREEN GLASS ASHTRAY!!!  GREEN GLASS ASHTRAY!!!”

4.  Repeat.

Pancakes are great and all but I can't help feel like we got the short straw there.

I don't know about anybody else, but regardless of the real reason, I'm going to blame the DUP for that.

Also, depends whose Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras in France and Quebec is fun, but definitely more of a wholesome-style carnival, whereas the Louisiana/New Orleans Mardi Gras can get very naughty indeed. Plus, also, the ones in France and Canada are more European in feel, whereas it's much more creole and Cajun-influenced in N'Orlans, in terms of music, cuisine, partying, etc.

EDIT: Sorry, that was more in response to Chest's point about us missing out.
