Slightly updated list of places and venues below. Go to the GIGS page for details and links.
[A note on Inverness: I’m really sorry this date was pulled. Apparently the venue were unable to confirm my booking, so we had to bow out. We’re hoping to put a show on in Edinburgh that night instead. Which will be great, as I’m not going to the festival this year, but a bit sad, cos I really wanted to get further up north. Sigh. ]

MERCHANDISE
People have been asking about merchandise on this tour. I’m going to be selling the brand new recording of “Ready For This? – Live at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London”. The album contains the songs from the show I’m touring, but was recorded with a big-arsed band. Yippee. It’s pretty weird and very cool, I think. We’re also doing the “MIT NIHCNIM EVIL 9002” t-shirts that have been pretty popular in the UK and a new “Ready For This?” tour t-shirt, which has my big head on the front, looking all broody and thinner than in real life. And – of course – there’ll be new canvas bags, the “So Live” DVD and my old “Dark Side” and “So Rock” live recordings.

EDIT: this was a post in which i replied to an email sent to me by a Homeopath who had found some comments I made in an Australian newspaper disparaging. A justifiable criticism, as I am often disparaging towards alternative medicine in both my act and – if the topic is raised – in interviews.
I have removed it, as my job is to find funny ways of putting these opinions across, and in posting my response unsatirically I was crossing over into science blogging – a very well-populated sphere.
I am glad I posted it, because it created a conversation, and hopefully even made a few people look a bit further into this particularly insidious form of mumbo-jumbo.
However, I don’t want to get into a situation where people Google me and find an abrasive essay on alternative medicine. I’d rather they found a stupid song.
If you are interested in this topic, there are a million places to go. Check out Ben Goldacre’s Bad Science blog. Or go to Quackwatch – an extremely thorough resource. Steve Novella’s Science Based Medicine blog is- like all his work – wonderful.
Or for some building blocks type any of the following phrases into Google or Wikipedia:
Causal Fallacy
Confirmation Bias
Falsifiability
Scientific Method
Pseudoscience
… and get in amongst it.
This is the shit that gets me excited. This is my porn.
Is that wrong?
Happy reading. Tim.x
