A Spring Of Hollies News Posted by Ian Symes on 14th January 2008, 21:51 As Norm revealed on his news page, erm, yesterday: Hattie Hayridge and I will be touring the country in the Spring doing a double header stand up comedy show. Dates will be announced very soon. Marvellous! Good to see Norm once again moving on from his Red Dwarf association. Nevertheless, this should be a bloody good gig. Both of them are excellent stand-ups, and it’ll be good to see the two of them interacting and bantering. We’ll keep an eye on the massive, red Norman-faced website for the dates.
We?ll keep an eye on the massive, red Norman-faced website for the dates. Brings a new meaning to the phrase “the large rouge one”.
Much as I dislike Normans bite-the-hand-that-feeds-me attitude, I may well have a look at the dates.. I’m sure this ‘coupling’ of talents is pure coincidence and has nothing whatsoever to with any Red Dwarf conection. In fact, I fail to see how anyone could think otherwise. Whatever, it’s worth a look.
I’m sure it’d be a fine night of entertainment if you could get a whole Dwarf stand-up bill. Hattie, Norm, Craig, Chris, Robert…I’m sure they could each provide a great comedy set. Then sell the DVD…hmmm…
I saw them both at the Finsbury Park gig and they are great together. Hattie went on first, then stayed to watch Norm and every now and then they had a bit of a chat whilst Norm clarified the set up to a gag. I doubt that’ll happen on tour, because they were both trying out their Edinburgh shows and a little less sure of what worked and what didn’t.
Ohh, I’d love to see that. You’ll post the dates when they’re released, yes? Cause otherwise I’ll forget.
Another bit from Norm’s news page: Hattie and I will be guesting at conventions in America this July and August. Dates and venues coming very soon. Cor!
Conventions, eh? But I thought he didn’t want to be associated with Red Dwarf anymore? (This might get boring at some point. But not yet.)
