Friday 22nd July 2016

Also managed to launch the Freewheeler project last night - emailed all of my favourite local musicians and they've all signed up for it. It's going to be an epic charity project, in which we recreate my dad's old record. It's going to be a beautiful album, and documentary - I'm flattered that everyone came back to me so enthusiastically so quickly, I have wonderful friends who just happen to be amazing musicians.

Spent the morning sorting out fringe admin stuff, and then off to Tiddington for an evening show. Village hall, the first time they've ever had comedy and a stark contrast to the stag party show last weekend - I had to really, really tone it all down. It went okay, I wasn't what they were expecting but still plenty of giggles and they could see I was working hard up there. And then we had a break followed by a screening of '50 Ways...'  - I'll be honest, I didn't think an hour stand-up set followed by a 70 minute film was a good idea. And I was right. It dragged, it felt horrible. The room was hot. It was like an evening with Paul Richards, with an audience who didn't know or give a shit about me. Why did they have to sit through all of this? Horrible. Drove home feeling quite stressed about it all.
