I got too behind on the pod so have done a triple-header catchup.

Picked up after my dip in the previous episode with a good gig in Swindon with Sandro Ford.

Learning how to tell jokes to people.

How do you become a stand-up comedian? How do you book a gig? How do you write a joke? All this and more is what I would write if I cared about self-promotion. Advertising is the devil. On 6th November 2024 I decided to start telling jokes on stage to people. Within 6 months I'd gone from walk-in spots at pubs to the final of a competition, having my jokes played on the BBC and doing a half-hour show at a comedy festival. I've always wondered how industries work behind the scenes and I try to lay out who, how, and where I got my gigs and then how each of them went. I do have a Patreon for some extra behind the scenes bits.
