If you haven't heard of comedian Simon Taylor before, then you soon will. Seven years into the comedy game, Simon has already made his mark in Australia and the USA, writing for Shaun Micallef and Jay Leno, and building a solid stand-up comedy reputation in the mean time. In this School of Hard Knock Knocks podcast, you'll learn how Twitter can improve your joke structure and how luck can be improved through preparation - at least according to Simon's dad. Simon is generous with his insights and provides excellent advice to any new stand-up comedian looking to further their career, and he gives this advice from the other side of the world, in New York, while looking at a squirrel. You'll enjoy this interview.
