    I have now spent two whole years in live comedy. Here are some stats around that.
  • 26. The Worst Gig I've Ever Experienced (2 Year Anniversary)

    32:07||Season 3, Ep. 26
    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.
  • 25. Halloween Themed Show

    13:43||Season 3, Ep. 25
    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.
  • 24. Closing Mates Rates RAW again, thoughts on one-liners and Jimmy Carr

    51:25||Season 3, Ep. 24
    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.
  • 23. Drag Me To Helch

    18:55||Season 3, Ep. 23
    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.
  • 22. Walton on Sunshine, Oh, Oh. [In-car Audio]

    13:27||Season 3, Ep. 22
    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.
  • 21. Another Charity Gig [In-car Audio]

    14:34||Season 3, Ep. 21
    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.
  • 20. Middle for Samantha Day (Don't Swear)

    24:05||Season 3, Ep. 20
    I was asked to middle on a gig that had rules around what could be said.
