Hello!
Hope you’re having a cracking summer!
Too Far Comedy keeps on coming at the Artillery Arms. We’re back on Monday with doors opening at 7.15pm. Free entry!
😂 Far Too Funny List
📺 Watching - We’re kicking off with a shoutout to fellow comedian Jack Henison. He recommended a fantastic YouTube channel called Comedy Without Errors. He told me to start with How to Handle a Heckler (here I was thinking my hosting has improved 😂). The video is incredible. The level of detail and insight on comedy theory is like nothing I have seen before. I’m sure I’ll be recommending other videos from this channel in due course.
🎧 Listening - I find Russell Howard’s Wonderbox podcast so easy to listen to. I recently enjoyed his chat with fellow comedian Mo Gilligan. You won’t believe where Mo plays football when he’s in the States!
📕 Reading - A fellow comedian mentioned to me a couple of weeks ago about how I was bringing clowning into my act. So it was interesting to read Catherine McCafferty’s article on Chortle: What stand-up and clowning can learn from each other.
🎬 New Video
Heckled by 2 Comedians is my latest vlog video. Please watch it and SUBSCRIBE to the channel. New videos on a Friday!
