Alistair's Facebook Page - Yes, I'm here. I succumbed. It is now pracically impossible to get anything done at my computer without being interrupted. As a result, ten minutes of my new solo show are probably going to be spent updating the audience on where I am on the stage as that was what I was doing on Facebook when I should have been writing actual material to fill the time instead.

Alistair's MySpace Page - Videos and other stuff that's not here. And some stuff that is. And the potential for lots of "friends" that I may or may not get to meet.

Holland Esquire.com - Nick Holland is a fantastic tailor who makes my favourite jackets to wear on stage. Or off it actually. At the moment I've got five of them. Unfortunately they're quite expensive, so as part of a brilliant plan to get him to send me free ones, my brother and I spent a couple of happy Christmas hours larking around in the garden as I pretended to model some of them.

This may not work as a plan. In fact, quite how I thought it was going to work as a plan at all has completely escaped me. Perhaps I should become famous. Oh yes! There we are. The plan.

The collected 'session' or 'shoot' is available under the title 'Idiot Holland Esquire Modull' in the photos section, and examples are scattered liberally throughout the site. They are meant to be funny and silly. If I just end up looking like a c**t, please feel free to let me know via one of the many 'Tell Al he's a c**t' opportunities that are also scattered liberally throughout the site.

And can I have some free clothes please.

www.charlottesaudiobook.com - I spent many happy hours last year recording an audiobook with the marvellous Marian Pashley. It's called 'Charlotte's Lot' and is written by Lara Silverstone, a former stand up turned writer. I play a not totally lovable and indeed somewhat reprehensible new agey guru type of figure that is in no way based on someone like the Barefoot Doctor (which he's not allowed to call himself anymore incidentally - one of Gillian McKeith's few achievements, as it was her use of the prefix 'Dr' that led to legislation preventing people who weren't actually doctors actually calling themselves doctors. How terribly unfair. All she'd done was revolutionise diet by talking bollocks about the colours of food and being rude to fat people. And looking at their poo.) Originally written as a novel, it is essentially an email correspondence between my character, Dr Bedford, and Charlotte Lott, a slightly ditzy housewife who ends up less a housewife and more the toast of the artworld. There's a lot of it - I think it's very funny (I am in it) and well worth a listen. Follow this link for more info and audio. And podcasts. And all the other things that Lara has manged to put up on this rather brilliantly exhaustive website.

Reprieve.org.uk - All will become clear on Jan 19th 2009. Well, before actually, otherwise no one would turn up to the benefit I mentioned on the news page, but these are the people it's for.

Google.com - This is brilliant. It's something called a searching engine and you can discover all kinds of things on the interweb by typing words into it. So clever. Although do be careful. I typed 'Alistair Barrie' and got hit 165,000 times.
