A gig in Leeds to mostly silence
I’ve just got back from Leeds and, sat in bed, suddenly don’t feel at all tired so I thought I’d write a quick post (as it’s been a while..). It was an interesting gig tonight, I’d done it before about 8 months previously and it’d been great, noisy, friendly and with a slight edge –…

Gig #17 – Bramall, Stockport
As a comedian (and for reference I still feel very uncomfortable using that term to describe myself) you get to perform in a variety of towns and cities. You also get to play in an array of spaces – from the back room of a pub to the well-prepared, well-run comedy club, from a student…

Gig #6 – The Beech Inn, Chorlton
I’ve been inspired to write up some gig notes by Ste Price (click here for his excellent site) to evaluate the work I’ve been doing, how I’ve felt after gigs and where I need to develop. Gig #6 was at The Beech Inn in Chorlton and was a really fun gig. I was slightly apprehensive…
