Joking Around – One man’s journey into stand up comedy, from page to stage and beyond.

Episode 19 – Love and Death
Still on a high after the success of the new material last week, I head out to try it all over again, this time with the minute I bottled out of the previous week reinserted. The venue this week is the lovely Hideaway Comedy Club, a place where only comedians seem to hang out.  Guest appearance from the very funny Rachel Wheeley and a few shout outs to the “fans”… (vomit)

Episode 18 – The New 5ish
Finally, I give my brand new 5 minutes of material a run out, with hilarious consequences. It all happens at the We Are Funny Project at Dirty Dicks, which is a really supportive room.  Also on the bill was Jack Cooper, another comic who I’ve gigged with a few times and he just so happens to turn up as I was recording at the station on the way home.

Episode 17 – Work it Through
I’ve written a brand new 5.  I’m not quite ready to give it an airing so this week at Heavenly Comedy in Shepherds Bush, I try out the new jokes from last week with a few tweeks.  I also had a dream, that I share with you – but what did it mean?  And I meet the President…

Episode 16 – New Material
With the forthcoming “big gig” in Luton on the horizon, I force myself to try out some new material and where better to do it than a new venue where no-one knows me.  Failure ahoy!  (SPOILER ALERT: it’s not that bad)

Episode 15 – Progression
Another return to a gig I’ve done before, The Freedom Fridge, in Kentish Town, hopefully this will eradicate the memory of the failure at Racontuers last week. Rachel also performs a set, so I get to catch up with her and see how she’s getting on.  Also, there’s some big and rather scary news for me.

Episode 14 – Ups and Downs
This week I really try to step things up with three gigs in the diary.  First up is another visit to Comedy Virgins at The Cavendish Arms followed by a brand new venue, The Vine for TNT Comedy and then finally a return to the place where my stand up journey began, Raconteurs at The Oak & Pastor in Archway.  However, things don’t quite go to plan…
