Gary Meikle: Yer Maw

THE SHOW

Gary Meikle returns to the stage with another new show which has quickly become the yearly norm for him now.   Hi guys it's me, Gary.    These blurbs do my head in if I'm honest, each year I need to sit and write one out before I even know what stories I'm gonna share, well I mean I don't have to  write one I could pay something else to do it but f*** that they'd just write some mundane vague crap which I can clearly do myself.  At least this way you know I've written it personally.  So what's the new show about?  Again,  I don't yet, but it will contain at least one 'yer maw' Joke,  what I do know is that it'll be another brand new 80-90 minutes of stories, opinions and observations about me, and my family as well as you all its always about people and the mad shit we do, sometimes animals but more often than not it's about people and the stupid scenarios we end up in.  I wonder if that's now enough wordage to cover the minimum blurb requirement? I guess we'll see, and I'll see you all soon maybe  - oh, one last thing, my show isn't suitable for small people, some of it might be about them, in fact it definitely will but, yeah they ain't getting in :)
