Shivering cold all day at the gig and I was supposed to be the very last act on but I asked if I could go on first as I felt so weak.
Anyway I'm up the heath hospital now for at least 7 days as I have meningitis and sepsis on my brain. I am absolutely feeling terrible.
Thanks for the donations everyone. Love the bobster
Fck mate. Get better soon

Dear God, that’s dreadful news, the ‘bottle’ you’ve shown in preparing and doing the gig has been admirable and I trust it’ll get you through this as well. Keep fighting :thumbup:

Re: Anyone ever done stand up comedy properly? Advice
Thank you Dan and Tuerto for your kind donations I am very humbled that people that don't know me would even consider donating money to someone they don't know. Also the rest of the lads on here I am truly humbled laying here on my deathbed reading how much I raised from just a few of you on ccmb. I have been on here in the days of the modem startup to load a page with names like Victor!! And send in tank, jeepers, I've always stuck with the same name uncle bob even though my name is actually Ian. Xxxx

Welcome Mate, not much considering what you have been through and what you're going through now. I really do admire people who are prepared to put themselves out of their comfort zone and show up. Takes bottle. Well done :thumbup:

Still, I'm hospital it's 2.27am just woken up with a steroid shot in my arm. I'm getting more conscious now and with it but unsteady on my feet and there could be a chance the meningitis I caught has caused my good ear that didn't burst to be attacked by the meningitis and become permanently damaged, I can't hear a thing out of it and the one that is damaged every one sounds like they are talking in my head x 1.5 speed it's messed up man

This sucks man. So sorry to hear this. Being stuck in hospital in the middle of the night and worried and scared is a horrible experience and I really do empathise mate. Stay strong buddy. Healing takes time.

Re: Anyone ever done stand up comedy properly? Advice
Had a wonderful little video just now arranged by one of my mates who does the kit.
Sean morrison just sent me a lovely little short video, which wouldn't mean a thing to him but has made my day sat in my hospital bed.
Little things like that cost nothing but mean so much to people.
What a man. Thank you Sean morrison. ❤️❤️❤️
Really give me a big boost that

Re: Anyone ever done stand up comedy properly? Advice
I've finally got out of hospital and I'm at home.
It's going to be a bit of a drawn out process learning to get my balance back again it could take weeks it could take months.
I'm just so lucky to be alive i'm not worried that I'm completely deaf in one ear
