There was a time in my life when I was 100% confident about acting out comedy scenarios in front of people. Unfortunately, this was way back in my final year of Primary school, when my class had a weekly drama competition. We were put into groups, and each week, we'd be given a scenario by our teacher, e.g. Time Travel, and we'd have a week to make up and rehearse a play. I remember the first week we did it, I was totally against doing it, but when it was over, and I'd got a few laughs from my classmates, I was hooked. By the end of the school year, I was well and truly considered to be the class clown, and I can honestly say it was my favourite of all the years I spent in school. Unfortunately, we didn't do any kind of Drama lessons when I moved up to Senior school, and gradually, I went back into my shell, and haven't acted since.

In secondary school we sis something similar but ended up all dressing as women and doing some sort of crappy sketch we all put together... to this day I still think david walliams stole my ideas.
Thats a shame cats... actings fun as being on stage... due to stupid edinburgh fringe, can't get a gig for love nor money.
