Cris is a champion insomniac

 I think I can reveal this now... it's my cool comedy news I mentioned on twitter a few weeks ago! 

I'm going to participating in Mark Watson's 26.2 Hour Show!

Next Wednesday, I'm going to be stuffed into a sweaty 230-seater theatre alongside comedians and comedy-obsessives for an endurance test like no other. I've done my revision (watching clips of past shows) but still don't think I'm anywhere near ready. For starters, can I even cope with seeing so many comedians at once!? I'm used to having month-long gaps between gigs to decompress from all the excitement, lol. Also, how can I stay awake for that long without collapsing? I'm bringing with me a multipack of water, lots of snacks, pot noodles (they might have a kettle?), cushions, a phone charger, deodorant (I imagine it's gonna start smelling bad pretty quickly in there) and a change of clothes. Honestly though, please suggest other things you think I might need!

My self-imposed challenge is the following: "I will be attempting to draw The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh in as many different scenarios as possible. For example, I might draw Bradley walking to the shops, Bradley bantering with Anne Hergerty on the set of The Chase between takes, or a hypothetical nightmare-situation in which Bradley's legs are made of lettuce. Not only is this a good challenge as it is theoretically endless but it will make me the owner of the most pictures of Bradley Walsh in existence, a noble goal worth striving for."

I've set up a donation page here so you can give some money to Dementia Revolution and suggest what Bradley should be doing. Or not! I have no control over your actions.

In other news, I've just gotten over my sore throat... only to catch a nasty cold! (These things are sent, etc.) Hope you're all doing well!

YAAAAAAAAAY!!!! I'm so happy you're doing this!!! You might need snacks that give you energy, like things that are high on caffeine and/or sugar. Chocolate is always a good call! Peanut butter is also a nice source of energy and it could help you out.
