Would you like to be on the big screen?
Mr Dog will be starring in a short film over the summer and we’re looking for people to join him.
All you need to do is record a video of yourself throwing his ball back.
You can either upload it as a video response to this video:
Or just upload it to YouTube and send us the link at mrdoginbox@gmail.com
All videos will be used and they can be any quality – from mobile phone to HD video camera.
Mr Dog lives at M&R Decorator Supplies on Cowbridge Road East in Cardiff:
129 Cowbridge Rd E
Canton
Cardiff CF11 9AG
Where he’s usually waiting for you to throw his ball back every Sunday or after 5pm on a weekday.
It might be worth taking a spare tennis ball with you just in case.
Happy throwing! Sx

I’m shooting a new short film in February and it all revolves around this hardworking fella called Mr Dog:
Who has won the hearts of the local residents of Canton, Cardiff. I shot the video a week ago and people are now making pilgrimages to Canton just to throw the ball to him! It’s incredible. I’ve given him access to a twitter account here:
@mrdogcanton
Where he’s enjoying being thrown a virtual ball. And on Facebook here:
I can’t wait to make the short. Watch this space…

All the biggest movers and shakers in the industry will be there, so it’s a good chance to impress. We’ll also be representing Wales, if we can make it. All money will be going into the App and ARG to make it a better experience, not flights. You can help us out here:

Along with the Cyfle posse I’ve been working with Justine Potter at Savvy Productions to create an online presence for the upcoming BBC Radio 4 drama A Shoebox of Snow starring Richard Briers.
You can find the result here at the WordPress site created for this project:
I’ve been working on a strategy to encourage people to upload their memories that turn ordinary objects (e.g. a pen) into something special (e.g. a pen that was used to write a novel). It’s been a big success, getting media attention and a significant number of uploads.
Please upload your own stories for people to discover!

No, not that Gnomeo and Juliet one. This one’s actually good, despite me being in it with my big belly and toolbelt.
Suffice to say the gnome is the better actor and got all the action from the groupies.

With the father, the grandfather and the great grandfather of the prostitute that Wayne Rooney allegedly slept with selling their stories to other networks, here on Newsstand we have an exclusive interview with her great great grandfather. Currently speaking to the ‘Other Side’, we go live to Anna Fahooom, the News Stand medium.
Cut to:

‘Chaos @ the Glee Club’ the new SNL-style topical comedy show is filming this Wednesday (6th Oct) and you can get your free tickets to be in the audience here:
I’ve written some of the sketches, and will include in the next post all the topical one-liners I’ve scribbled down over the last two weeks for the show. So if you can’t make it, or miss it on tv, you can still enjoy a little of the chaos.

I can’t believe it. It’s a massive honour to be associated with something that was set up in the memory of one of the greatest British producers (five Oscars!) and to have my script chosen by the panel a who’s who of industry greats.
I’m not even sure ‘woohoo’ does it justice. I’ll come back when I’ve calmed down.

- What did the plumber take on holiday? Everything but the kitchen sink. Which was blocked.
- What else did the plumber take on holiday? A leak. Twice a day.

This blog was a promotional tool. I’m not ashamed of this, it was always meant to be a virtual calling card – “you can’t have a website without a blog!” they shouted in my face while pounding my buttocks with a scotch egg, and they were right. They were right about everything; the scotch egg, the pounding and the blog. So here it was, created with the odd funny link and the occasional updates to my gigs. Promotional, unoriginal and purely functional.
But that’s now changing. On Monday, I discovered via Google Analytics I had 20 viewers. 20! This has turned from a fun promotional tool to a public site ladened with responsibility.
Well, you’ll be glad to hear I intend to step up and fulfil my duty of entertaining my audience of 20, by writing one original joke a day on the blog. Weekdays only (to keep weekends free). The gig updates will remain. In case you want to come.
To kick it all off, here’s today’s joke:
“My Great Grandfather had one tune, my Grandfather had two tunes, my father had three tunes, and when I was born I was heir to the family four tune.”
I’m off to lick a pensioner. Come back tomorrow for another.

Yes – it’s true, our new ‘Open Mic’ comedy night here in Cardiff will be going live on the 19th of October in the truly awesome venue that is Koko Gorillaz. Seriously, a fantastic venue, I couldn’t believe our luck. A raised stage at the end that is the perfect size for a standup looks out over rows and rows of tables waiting to be filled with people wanting to laugh at the funny man or woman with the microphone. And that funny man or woman could be You. Just drop me a line using the contact details in the ‘About Me’ section of this website if you would like a 5 – 10 minute slot.
