Got up early, straight into the rehearsing of Inadequate Man. Took ages to put together the audio links, the visuals etc, by the time it came to actually running it for the first time it was lunchtime. Still not sure if it works, there's some really big laughs in this show - which hasn't always been the case for my work, but the structure doesn't quite feel as tight as it could be.
Been offered a show in Shropshire. Opened 'negations', which generally involves me agreeing to the fee they offer but doing my best to look like I know what I'm doing.
Edited the sketch show and had real issues. Because I filmed it all in HD, the files were so big and my poor little laptop really struggled with it - the audio and video footage never matched. In the end I had to upload the files from my phone to YouTube, and then download them back to my laptop as smaller files, before editing them. What a hassle! But I'm really proud of the footage; in fact I even punched the air when it was done because I think we have something good here. Yeah, it's short and dark, but it's good.
Feel guilty that Dowsing have cancelled a gig because I can't make it. A whole 100+ piece choir, and a band, cancelling because the drummer has a solo comedy show in Guildford. I feel bad about this, but flattered.
Evening rehearsal with Claudia and band was very nice, as it always is. These are good times, I think. I need to earn some money at some point, but I'm entering a creative peak I feel.
