It’s been a long time since I’ve done any writing on my blog, and i doubt anyone still reads it, so forgive me if I'm a little rusty, last year was the beginning of my stand-up; I managed to squeeze in 6 whole gigs (I know who’d have thought anyone would have that much spare time!), Become single again and get a job. And after just a few months in the working world I find myself grovelling at the feet of the cruel ex-girlfriend that is education crying “oh god, I was wrong, take me back, I hate it here!” Now back in college and with a local venue to compare at I'm currently in a really good place right now.
One of the main problems with doing stand up in Kent is that it is a pain in the arse to find a venue to play at, the two I can get to regularly are “the orange” and “platform 5 wine bar”, one night last week I plucked up the courage to ask the owners of platform 5 if I could compare their open mic night, and amazingly they’ve let me do it! If I manage to pull of this night I might actually have a consistent source of gigs in the local area, that’ll be huge as I won’t have to travel to London every time I have a new 5 mins.
I'm applying to do stand up comedy at university, call it a mistake if you’d like but I really cannot think of anything I’d like to do more, and I do often wonder why I am shunned meanwhile universities are swarmed with art students?
I'm not quite sure what to make of the Olympics, personally I have no indication to watch any of it, despite the rarity of the situation it still seems to annoy me, I think it falls back to when I was younger and the Olympics were on instead of cartoons. Somewhere in my psyche, I don’t think I’ve forgiven them for that..
Any who this blog should really pick up steam, it’s a big year, and I’ve got big plans.
