Last week I was invited to partake in and celebrate a very special wedding anniversary. Can you imagine being married to the same person for 50 years? Clearly they were into ‘injury time’.

Such an achievement is seen as rare in today’s day and age, which is sad. The funny material for this occasion was so easy to write, to the point where the jokes were writing themselves. On occasions such as this it’s a blessing to be a comedian.

The lucky couple were a delight to meet and it was clear to see how proud they were of what they had achieved. Here we had a couple who were best friends and made for each other. It was an honour to be part of this amazing celebration.

My job was to face and entertain a varied age range for an audience and they were easy to work with and happy to engage.But another interesting statistic came to mind following this event.

People born between 1997 and 1999 have lived in three decades, two centuries, and two millenniums and they are not even 18 yet.  I bet you didn’t know that.
