Did a few hours in the office, which was a good excuse for me to moan about everything. The other guy in the office has just stared going to the gym, so he wanted to moan too.
With the cinema not getting back to my final email, I just walked down there and stormed in, attempting to make a scene...of course it wasn't like that, it was all very friendly, they were apologetic, I was too (I've done nothing wrong but that's just what I do) and we sorted out the comps issue...in short they told me everything I wanted to hear. I felt pretty good about that. The main concern is that it now will probably have to move back to screen 1 - which is huge, due to the ticket demand. I don't want this to happen. It was made on my phone. It can't work on a screen that big. There's just a few tickets left for screen 2, when they go, it gets moved up to the bigger screen. I'm actually considering asking people not to come. What a bizarre situation.
Was the MC for a charity comedy show tonight; big billing of proper comedians. In my mate Jack's words: "I've never seen you connect with an audience so badly." He was quick to point out after that it wasn't my fault - I did my thing, I did it well, they just weren't going to like me. Not in aggressive, Colchester sort of way, but just in a 'we don't find him funny' way. I opened the whole show with a Katy Perry song (vocal and cajon version) which didn't work at all, my joke about fire escapes rescued it for a bit, but then even my trademark, fall-back piece, 'Grace' died on it's arse. And the tricky thing about being the MC? When the audience don't like you, they have to sit through you six different times. Tough show, but for a good cause.
