A year ago I won the Silver Comedy Newcomer 2012 contest.
A year ago, a photographer working for the Guardian came to the Comedy in Tooting, and took a hundred photos.
Alas, the photographer Martin Godwin who took wonderful images there, http://www.martingodwin.com/# never send them to me, even if he has promised.
A year ago my Standup Comedy was in boom and, yes, I was only at the beginning. I have now 60 gigs behind me, and lots of friendly faces and laughter.
A year ago seems so far!
Yet, because it I was invited to contribute an essay in a book (to appear in September) and I was interviewed last month for two TV stations (4 and Sky News): I was invited to give the keynote in Scotland end of this March at the festival of Creative Ageing.
I am not finished yet.
Who knows, perhaps something will happen this year so I will be able to say a year from now "a year ago"...
I don't believe you'll ever stop creating new opportunities for yourself, Julie :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachel! Do I create them or do they come to me?
DeleteI did create in fall a Storytelling Workshop finishing the 4th of March with a showcase of all Toastmasters speaking of different Roadblock in their life. This one I really did create, it did not just "come to me".
On Quorum there is a discussion about what nice things a stranger did to you? Yesterday, I wrote about you and your husband inviting me and spoiling me a whole long weekend!
