Fully booked for 2008!I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm fully booked for the rest of 2008 and thinking about 2009! I have no idea what happened this year but it's just whizzed passed! I've had a lovely year filling in on air for BBC Radio Derby, BBC Radio Shropshire & the BBC Late Show in the West Midlands at the weekends. It's been a thrill talking to the punters and doing my usual nonsense on the air. I completed my three months at BBC Derby at the end of September. I thoroughly enjoyed presenting the Saturday Show every week and filling in on the Afternoon show. Their listeners are incredible and I hope I can get back on air in Derbyshire soon. I've also been touring my Live show none stop throughout 2008. It's always tricky fitting stuff in with my Radio stuff but it seems to have worked! There have been the odd '3 show days' which scare the crap out of me....I got through them. It's good practice for my Christmas Season! I've really enjoyed meeting the punters and gigging and gagging this year. I finally feel after 15 years on the road I have a show worth seeing!

My weekly celebrity radio show 'City of the Stars' continues on CityTalk 105.9FM across the North West on Sundays at 2pm - rpt throughout the week! Out of the UK I've put most of my Live commitments on hold in November as I am out of the UK from the end of October and throughout November. I'm in Valencia in October and then off to Montreal to record 'Montreal 400' in Quebec in early November. I can't wait to put this exciting new radio show together celebrating their big birthday! I'll be visiting all of their biggest attractions for the programme. I love visiting new places and I can't wait to see these two amazing Cities! I will also be back in New York in late November to record 'The Magic of the Musicals on Broadway' for a couple of weeks. This is my favourite production of the year. I'll once again be working with all of the major productions in the West End and on the Great White Way for this show. I love New York and I can't wait to see my pals again in Lovey Lake on Broadway! Christmas Tour 2008 - Condiments of the Season I can't believe I'm already rehearsing Carols! Yep it's time to prepare for my two or three shows a day, everyday from December 3rd - Dec 24th!
