Comedy & Humour

Humour, the ways in which it is put across and perceived, has got to do with the moods and the vibrations, both on the part of the speakers and the listeners. In fact, the whole range of emotional states – the humours - can be communicated with words, with the body language and the arts. Expressing humour is one of the strategies that in some cases can be adopted to keep a distance from the disrespectul, or those we can’t connect or click with. Comedy may be funny, but as well as others in similar businesses I may say: “Behind all beautiful laughing sounds there is always a profuse tear lurking.”

It's life and life only

About

This is a collection of pronouncements, statements and other thoughts published in a booklet of assumed wisdom in order to explain a few things about myself to those who want to know me. All this material really reflects my true opinions and visions, for whatever they count, and my general attitude to life. It is something that I have written little by little in a relatively long period of time, and is the result of many years of more or less funny experiences. The title of this collection alludes to the concluding line of a well-known song by Bob Dylan called “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)”. It's not always so honourable to take ourselves too seriously, but the pain and the frustrations can be real. I hope that this, as well as being the first edition, will be the last one too, because by the time I will have changed my mind on any of these topics, or improved it (the mind, that is), I will probably need to write something altogether different, which is something I am not sure I am looking forward to do.

Vutu che te la conti o che te la diga?

If I will be able to sell this job (The title roughly means “Do you want me to recount it or say it for you?”), I will only have to thank all those who had created the right conditions for me to work on it. Some of my mates said it’s a masterpiece, but that’s only a flattering claim that fills my heart with a great deal of self-confidence… The events of my life, my inner emotions, my moods, I didn’t originally mean to share with the rest of the world, because I would have never imagined that anyone could empathise or be able to laugh with me. I hope that you will soon be able to download it from this site for a modest price.

My five Hosterias

And here are five fine examples of osteria-like northern Italian chants -in English – for the good conviviality in the multicultural restaurants.

HOSTERIA No 1

Should in the pussy be a denture
We recommend you enclose your willy
In a metal tube, you silly
No more need to do a bender
And no more scraping of the member
Tirah-tee-tee-tin-terah-tirah-tee-tee-tin-tah

HOSTERIA No 2

A sausage as big as a warhead
Fell in the valley of Georgia’s heels
That wasn’t surely a funny deal
Rumours speak of a blunder
Why not drop it just down under
Tirah-tee-tee-tin-terah-tirah-tee-tee-tin-tah

HOSTERIA No 3

Dear uncle Ron has got the runs
Toilet’s broke, he needs a can
In this bathroom there’s no fans
'til you make any donation
The obligation is sanitation
Tirah-tee-tee-tin-terah-tirah-tee-tee-tin-tah

HOSTERIA No 4

In the sweat-shop there’s a bimbo
A silly woman, a bloody tease
A temp who’s twatting the employees
She never screws unless they pay her
I recommend you never lay her
Tirah-tee-tee-tin-terah-tirah-tee-tee-tin-tah

HOSTERIA No 5

Dedicated to all bunnies
You too must run sister Annie
When they come close to your fanny
In the convent they won’t find you
You must lock the door behind you
Tirah-tee-tee-tin-terah-tirah-tee-tee-tin-tah

Hymn to the bevvies

PART 1.

So many bevvy deals. Before'n after your meals.
Manhattan on the rocks, before some bread and fox.
Some port to cook red meat, or soon after the sweet.
And cider’s also nice, goes well with curry and rice.

PART 2.

A bottle of Champagne, you never lose you gain.
A good jug of sangria, what have you got to fear?
Grappa should I mention, with coffee for digestion.
But absinth I'd prefer, I am a connoisseur.

PART 3.

The brandy and the rum, one night with you my chum.
Whiskey 'n coke my friend, until the very end.
Oh mate a splash of gin, how can it be a sin?
Or any red you crave. If plonk you must be brave.

PART 4.

The vodka and the bier, one night with you my dear.
Tequila down in one, oh baby so much fun.
A Sauvignon is class, oh darling what a gas.
Cocktail or some wine? Back to yours or mine?

PART 5.

Choose your own liqueur, this is the best cure.
However just make sure, when wishing this Grand Tour
Don’t want you to drop dead, you have to be well fed
Too many booze supplies, and there is your demise.

Drink responsibly

My disco (stop the drums!)
