The Show Must Go On etc etc

I feel like a proper trouper!

Last night was a big night for me. I was doing a "try out" gig for an agent. This was to be my first big step towards paid comedy work and another inch closer to my dream of earning a living from making people laugh.



The agent in question was Agraman "The Human Anagram". He has helped launch the careers of many a comedy legend including Peter Kay, Eddie Izzard and Lee Evans.

So this was a big night for me. Shame then that at 4pm that very day I was full of a cold and off my head on Night Nurse.

It could have all gone terribly wrong. But adrenalin is a wonderful thing. In the end I managed to lift myself and pull off a decent performance. Decent enough to prompt Agraman to bring up the subject of paid work... (job's a good 'un!)

The evening was made sweeter by the presence of Mrs Brady who was watching me perform for the first time. She thought I was amazing. (But then she is my wife.) We also managed to smuggle in my friends, Arthavadin, Chandana and Jane - even though all the tickets were sold out. Great night all round.

Hope you enjoy the audio.

Love
