Doing Funny Things
As mentioned in my bio I like to engage in performing live comedy, whether it be stand-up or improv. Here I want to try and painfully document my comedy experiences.

My first time doing stand-up!
I dug through random digital notes I had laying around for a long time and managed to piece together a bunch of jokes which I stood in front of a microphone and read out... It went fine.
Went along to support a couple of mates and spectate. The bill was a bit short so got asked last minute to perform.
Read random puns off my phone and finished by doing some sole improv, oddly successful showing!
A second appearance on a ticketed bill.
This was the toughest night I've had on stage, the audience felt tough to win over, I managed to recover a joke and get the audience on-side before fumbling the pay-off. All-in-all a valuable learning experience but a huge knock to confidence.
Spontenously put my name down for the Open Mic night happening whilst out with some coworkers. A night for music, spoken word and comedy.
I was the only one not doing music so besides telling some puns I read out An Ode To The Feeling.
