Life is excitingly busy at the moment. I'm doing my weekly Radio 1 show and I’ve got a "controversial" documentary film coming out for BBC 3. I like being busy but I find it harder and harder to relax these days. I think I might take up meditation. Or crack. Definitely one of the two.

I was doing some interviews on the street the other day for my Radio 1 show and I was chatting to an old bloke. I asked him if he'd ever heard my show. "What time is it on?" he asked. "3am", I confessed, knowing it was unlikely he'd have heard my late night offerings. "Oh, I’m often up at that time," he said. Excited, I asked him if he was a bit of a raver. "No, I suffer from chronic pain," he replied. Crikey. Faux pas.

I'm currently rehearsing for some shows I'm doing at the Soho Theatre in February. I'll be doing my character DJ Danny. He's an English teacher by day and a DJ by night. He just desperately wants to be a superstar DJ like Fatboy Slim, but he's actually deeply whack. I did him up at the Edinburgh Fringe last summer and got some really nice reviews. The Daily Telegraph really liked it. It's always good to know you've got the right wing press on your side. If there’s ever a military coup, I should be safe. The show was inspired by my own experiences DJing. I used to run a club night. I used to find it quite amusing how I could get away with playing my CD collection to a room full of people and calling it a talent. The Edinburgh Festival is great. It's kind of to comedians what Ibiza is for DJs. We all go up there, abuse our bodies and somehow remember to do a gig every night. And we lose loads of money. You have to fund your own show. Even if you sell out and get great write ups, you seem to come back owing thousands. Not quite sure how that works out. Someone’s making money somewhere. I think it might be the Edinburgh chip shops. I'm making a lot of music at the moment. I think I'm vicariously living out my dream of being a rock star. I do a slot on my radio show called Danny Robins' Music Therapy where listeners email me their problems and I try and help solve them through the sheer sweet power of music. I create an original song for each person. I see myself as a kind of hipper, music based version of Claire Rayner or maybe Dr Raj Persaud. I actually interviewed Raj Persaud recently. He was quite intense. Somehow the interview finished with him diagnosing me with OCD and telling me "there are people you can go and see you know." I think he was touting for business. I don’t think I do have OCD, but I do sometimes stop and think that my life can be pretty weird. The other day I spent the morning going up to strangers on the street asking them questions and then the afternoon doing impressions of Johnny Cash and the Beastie Boys for our latest Music Therapy. It's fun. I've got to go now as I’m making a drum and bass remix of James Blunt. It's sounding good. I'm not sure James Blunt would like it, but then he’s far too posh to be a pop star anyway. He's posher than the Queen. He's probably got a gift shop in his house.
