Thursday 22nd January 2015

After the excitement of the last few days, I woke up this morning just feeling a little flat. I'm really excited about this show, looking forward to doing it again tonight, but today I just dwelled a bit - dwelled on the fact that Dowsing are probably really annoyed with me because the whole gig was cancelled as I couldn't make it, dwelled a bit replying to BBC contacts about coverage for the shows...suddenly it's the evening and I need to think about the show tonight.

Our sketch show is going down well, over 120 hits which doesn't sound like a lot but it's not bad. Confirmed a London performance for the show in a really nice venue for May. Turned down a full-time 9-5 office job. Got asked if I could be a drum teacher for somebody...yeah, I can wing that, I think. Made a promo video for Inadequate Man. Spoke to Amanda about recording the podcast and that's all in the diary now. Booked 2 more lounge shows and spoke to my PR lady quite a lot.

Evening lounge show around Surabhi's house. Such a nice house, almost felt guilty swearing in it for the show. Lovely audience, made up of Dowsing singers (none of them had issues about the gig being cancelled), they loved the first half of the show - the speedy reprise of Getting Lost... - it's a safe show, they were really into it. Inadequate Man didn't work though, I felt like I lost them a bit during it - it dragged, I fumbled my way around this new dialogue. Hhhhmmm, not great. They were lovely as an audience, I enjoyed spending a good hour or so chatting to them afterwards. Everyone believes in me so much, which, after that performance, probably wasn't warranted faith.

Got back and investigated production companies for the sketch show. There's a real lack of them out, there, but sent the link to 15 of them at least.
