I fell behind on the old podcast front, so here is the catchup episode where I cover a record five gigs and explain what I'm doing with all these silly videos I'm posting.

Various March Gigs

Big Belly, Biscuit Factory and The Outlook

Two competitions and a laid-back new material gig

May Gigs Round-Up

The Outlook, Reading and Wig & Pen, Oxford

Some More Clown Gigs

Backyard Comedy Club, Bethnal Green, London

I managed to get on the Backyard New Act Night and had an (adjective) time.

Backyard New Act Night

Various locations

I have begun wearing a clown suit to gigs. That is all. This episode covers a few shows in April.

Clown In The Mouth

A couple of gigs where audiences decided to be talkative.

Odd Audiences

Various venues

I supported Radio 4 personality, among other things, Robin Ince.

Supporting Robin Ince + An Awful Roast

The Dolphin, Portsmouth

Another multi-episode to catch up.

Karachi Curry Comedy

The Biscuit Factory, Reading

I'm behind at this point so here is a multi-episode.

Return To The Biscuit Factory

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.
