  • Comedy is creativity
    Comedy is creativity. This from Ricky Gervias, ‘You should bring something into the world that wasn’t in the world before. It doesn’t matter what that is. It doesn’t matter if it’s a table or a film or gardening; everyone should create. You should do something then sit back and say “I did that”’
  • You have to go down the chute
    Before you go on stage, think about this quotation from Tina Fey, ‘You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the water slide overthinking it. You have to go down the chute’.
  • Is this my audience
    Try to get to see a venue before you perform there. Ask yourself, ‘is this my audience, will they get me?’
