News of the World is closing? Hooray! Forget that rubbish and read about which writer/director of Love Actually and Four Weddings and a Funeral is backing Monsters! Find out which comedians are expected to cameo in this August’s talk-about show Monsters: A History of Villainy! (And read about all the things that are going tits up!)
What’s that coming over the hill? Oh, it’s just some Monsters
Okay folks. This is big. And by big I mean huge. Coming this August at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival is my debut show as a performer on the Fringe Monsters: A History of Villainy. How would you like to be a patron of a comedy show? Read how you can become an honorary Monster…
To mark the end of the 2010/2011 Premier League Football season, I take on comedy’s best and brightest at predicting the scores of the last match day. Featuring Tim Key, Milton Jones, Dan Antopolski and lil ol me, Bob Fletcher – who will get the most correct scores? I’ll give £10 for each person who beats me to Breast Cancer Research. Game on!
I challenge people to a spelling bee. Take me on if… if you dare.
Spelling is fun. It gets a nerdy rap but I think it’s okay. I think it’s fascinating because – contrary to what you might think – the most educated person isn’t bound to win.
Like many great icons of the past and current world leaders, one thing has troubled me more than anything else; how to make the perfect brownie.
So to mark the arrival of the Pope aka Popey, Popemeister general, Popeface, I attempt to concoct a great chocolately feast. Of which he shall get to taste none of. Read on to found out how or if it could be done by a Bob Fletchery type of person.
I often do this mind-reading trick on people (normally fit girls) where I ask them to think of a vegetable then guess what it is. It works 66% of the time and it’s sensational when it does. But the rest of the time it’s like…”no, you’re just…crap”.
Of course I’m not psychic and I don’t think anyone is. It’s all about reading behaviour and using some crafty tricks. Surely with those skills I can beat 3 of the best young comedians performing at Edinburgh this year at mind reading? Referee’d by the renown mind-reader Chris Cox, who will come out on top?
Not everyone can wear hats. Actually, that’s not true. EVERYONE can wear hats. Providing you have a head.
Maybe the elephant man couldn’t wear a hat (a regular hat I mean) but I’m sure he could have put a tesco bag on and called it a hat… who would object? He’s the elephant man. Give him a break! His head’s all warped and weird, the last thing he needs is you telling him what is or isn’t a hat.
In true World Cup spirit I take on my dad in a Penalty Shootout for Father’s Day.
I’ve not posted for a while so here’s a must-see special edition. Half filmed in London Arsenal, half back in Coventry. Witness Fletcher junior take on big daddy Fletch in the greatest test of nerves and pressure known to mankind! This. Is. Epic. Neither of us are gifted footballers, but does that count? It probably does. We’ll see…
