I have now spent two whole years in live comedy. Here are some stats around that.

This gig was on my two year anniversary of doing comedy, and it was the worst gig that I have ever experienced. Everything was wrong and the entire thing was a waste of time for everyone involved. I said in a previous episode that it would be funny to have a bad one on the anniversary, and I sadly underestimated just how possible that was.Also, Basingstoke has two White Hart's within a couple of miles of each other and I went to the wrong one first.

I was invited to do a Halloween/Samhain-themed show in Oxford for £20. It went alright for a set that was hampered by the theme somewhat.

Possibly my longest RIF yet, this is my usual explaining of the most recent gig and then some long asides about the nature of one-liners in modern comedy.

Terrible venue name, irritating audience members and I swear in this episode. Scandalous. This was a last minute gig that was offered to me on the day.

This was a pro gig, for once. Everyone on the lineup was paid, and I got £50 for a ten minute spot. Not the easiest room I've had, but they were alright. Also, I'm driving in my car for this one.

I did another charity night, this time in Witney. I should probably type longer descriptions for episodes, but usually I do them on my phone so it is fiddly. Today, I am on my laptop, so I can write something longer. Shame it's not relevant to the episode.

I was asked to middle on a gig that had rules around what could be said.
