At The Stand

Last night I played Red Raw at The Stand in Glasgow. I never seem to muster up a lot of pre-gig enthusiasm for these things. I’ve got too much stuff in my set that’s not properly worked out.

I was on 3rd in the second part of the evening. Not my ideal time for going on. I prefer to be on early, mainly so I can get it out the way.

Of my act I think my stage persona and delivery were a lot better than normal. I do need to flesh out rough ideas a bit better in order to sell the funny. My biggest laugh came from my opening ad-lib where I suggested the audience would be able to see me unless I moved the microphone stand. I did milk it for all it was worth, though I felt that I probably could have had them in uproar if I abandoned my set and just went on about being fat.

I’m discovering that more and more people on the comedy circuit now know me from You Owe Me Glue.
