Sorry, couldn't think of anything more original to say!
Thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm 34, live in Kent, and have got a one-year-old.
I've always been a big comedy fan, and people frequently tell me my Facebook and Twitter posts are funny. I got made redundant last year from a journalism job, and have since then been trying to scrape together a living writing and doing PR etc....
I figured it was as good a time as any to start writing some of the comedy material that has been rattling round my head for donkey's, and try to do a little each day. Am not expecting to make millions, but as I'm not doing that anyway, I figure why not give it a go.
I'm more interested in writing to be honest, although performance is something I have done at workshops, and have been told I'm good at, I'm not really confident enough in it. But maybe one day.
By "sheer coincidence" my brother has also started on his stand up career at the very same time, he's already done a couple of gigs.
But we're not close and he'd probably rather cut his own head off than acknowledge one of my jokes is funny...! It does however mean that if I now start doing stand up in our little colloquial backwater, I'm basically surfing on his coat tails, and I don't want to do that.
Sorry, have rambled on a bit - am really looking for feedback, ideas, collaborations, opportunities......!
Say hi if you want to - or avoid me if you think I type too much!
