Thanks to him and her, a night out continues to be something of a rarity for she and me. But tomorrow our luck will be in when we go to see Jimeoin live at the City Varieties in Leeds.
For those of you who have never heard of the great man, Jimeoin is a comedian who, although huge in Australia, has only risen to proper prominence over here in the last couple of years.
And he's from Portstewart in Northern Ireland.
He's not particularly rude, he's not even especially edgy. But he is incredibly funny.
I've read a couple of reviews of his new show - simply entitled "Lovely" - and subjects for discussion will include toe movement and whether or not to wear a coat outside.
Despite leaving the North Coast 24 years ago, he has retained his accent.
I therefore purchased two tickets on the second row, right in the middle; my thinking being that, whilst I'm not saying I'll definitely interact with him, he is likely to be one of the few people on any English stage with a chance of understanding what I'm saying.
We'll see how it goes.
