‘What about Sets?’ I asked, carefully…

6-Jun-17 By Simon Jay Leave a Comment

When you do a fringe show, on a limited budget, especially when it’s essentially, a ‘one-person show’, you’re rather limited about what you can create in terms of set. In past shows, I’ve just not bothered with anything, especially when touring. I mean I did a whole tour with a plastic joke-shop arm as the […]

Mr Jay goes to SOAS

22-Apr-15 By Simon Jay Leave a Comment

I’m sitting here a little overwhelmed. This afternoon I gave my first book reading proper. I’ve been ‘on the bill’ for one or two open-mic gigs which went down rather well. But this was my first on my own. It was a bijou affair on the fourth floor of The School of Oriental and African […]

A Pinch of Notoriety Will Do

13-Mar-15 By Simon Jay Leave a Comment

When the book went live on Monday it didn’t quite sink in. It had been talked about so much, prepared, drafted, redrafted and then proofed (and sort of proofed again) that when I told my little Facebook Page that Amazon took 8 hours for the book to go live, I was shocked that a message […]
