Love Thy Comedy, Hate Thy Politics!
There’s politics, drama and BS in everything – even comedy! Behind the magic you see on stage us comics are working on other projects; podcasts, radio, writing scripts, all of which can be very long and tedious, even more so when you chuck in a bit of BS to the mix!
Where’s all this coming from? Well, I’ve been developing a sitcom for YEARS now (cos that’s how long it takes many sitcoms to get off the ground. By the time my sitcom gets made I may be too old to play my own damn character! Smh!); it’s based loosely on

Have You Tried Listening?
We live in a time where people are so easy to be offended, and a lot of the time it’s for the most innocuous and ridiculous thing…
“You can’t say that!… That’s offensive… That’s racist… No I’m not black, but my next door neighbour is and I feel offended on their behalf… No, my next door neighbour is not here, but if he were…”

Most Brutal Heckle Ever
As a gigging stand-up comedian you get a few heckles every now again, maybe more if you’re shit!
And in my 10+ years on the circuit I’ve had a few heckles thrown my way… “you’re wank!” from a very charming and classy woman in Sheffield who was offended that I was talking about things in the news, cos in her words “you’re talking about things that are going on in the world and that’s not right!”… What an absolute bellend!
Or there was the “I can’t see you” from a guy in King’s Lynn who made the heckle because I was wearing
