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.

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.

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.

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.

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…
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.
Now, two years in, I get paid middles and have done 45-minute solo shows at festivals.
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.
