New Template Change!

Hello all,

After deciding to change the template, I must ask for your opinion. Is this more or less appealing than the old one?

Thanks for your feedback!

Jimmy Carr

A small amount of background information on Jimmy Carr, the famous English comedian:

According to Wikipedia, Jimmy Carr was "(born 15 September 1972) is an English comedian, author, actor and presenter of radio and television, known for his deadpan, satirical and often very dark humour.

Carr's comedy career began in 2002. After becoming an established act on the stand-up circuit, he appeared in a number of Channel 4 television shows in 2005, most notably as the host of the hit panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats. As well as his television work and stand-up routines, Carr has also enjoyed success on the radio and as a writer."

Month-Long Time Lapse!?

My apologies, everyone, for such a pause in my writing. I have been very busy of late and expanding into new fields of writing and platforms, and so hence I have been unable to write on this blog recently.

As a way to take a break from the serious chit-chat about speech writing and public speaking, let's take a step back and talk about...comedy.

Stand-Up Comedy, specifically.

Some of my favorites are:

Mitch Hedburg (classy as always)

Gabriel Iglesias (constantly making fun of immigration and bars -an unusual combo)

Jimmy Carr (the Englishman of hilarity)

Aries Spears (the famous impressionist of hip-hop and movie stars)

Kevin Hart (the grown-little man! Very short in person)

As we venture more into the comedy area for the next few posts, we'll list a few jokes and videos, pop some popcorn and laugh like we haven't ever before! I think a lighter area of content is a necessity presently...

Alright then! That's it for today's VERY late post...Fresh Writing, signing out! (Although I hate saying that.)

Thanks for reading,
