Last Friday night saw the North West Comedy awards here in Manchester. A truly glitzy affair of glamour, comedians and c-grade celebrities. (Apparently Joan Rivers was there, but I didn't see her.) The night was hosted by Bradley Walsh, with highlights including a tribute to the recently departed and under appreciated Hovis Presley. Johnny Vegas was genuinely humbled when accepting the 'Les Dawson award for services to North West Comedy'. I was at the bar with him earlier in the evening, when the ridiculously slow service was beginning to take its toll. He offered to put on a celebrity hissy fit to see if it would help the cause. (It didn't, sadly.)
My final memory of the evening was of sitting opposite a well-known soap star who was possibly even more drunk than me. He was chatting up a young lady, and insisting that she would make an absolutely fantastic actress...
