Friend of mine was told he didn't get a job as a Training Officer whilst he was in a room delivering training.
He said "well I'm clearly not good enough at this" and walked out.

He just needs to establish himself in the test side first and then invent time travel.
On his current success rate I'd say there's a 50/50 chance.

Aah, beautiful Springtime. And with it comes the unmistakable sound of scaffolding going up.

And the dawn chorus of the road workers putting out traffic cones.

The York area rum sales haven't recovered from the loss either.

Very sad what happened to him.

Umpired Collis about 10 years ago. He had a bat the size of a railway sleeper and dealt exclusively in boundaries.

His opening partner said he was difficult to bat with as you couldn't run anything more than a single.

Its a novel approach. Maybe it'll catch on.

Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee Australia - Series 1: Episode 1 The series kicks off with comedians Urzila Carlson, Nazeem Hussain, Danielle Walker and Tom Gleeson taking on a comedy spelling challenge hosted by Guy Montgomery and Aaron Chen.

Its giving strong "somebody's Fringe show" vibes, but I'm loving its insanity.

Promised so much
Had a great line up.
A couple of quality performances
Ultimately disappointing.

Going to Edinburgh this year?

Currently fine-tuning your show / working on your show / thinking "Ah, I'd better start writing a show, hadn't I"?

Whatever stage you're at, I can help. I've worked with numerous standups with their shows for years, which went on to gain 4* and 5* reviews from the likes of The Scotsman and Chortle.

I've also written comedic books that have appeared on the Sunday Times bestseller list as well as newspapers/websites/etc.

I can tailor the work we do together to suit your needs, from a quick punch-up to add gags to deciding from the ground up how to structure / write / pace your show or anything in between.

My rates are very reasonable and I can work around your schedule. I can also provide testimonies.

If you have any questions, get in touch.

Thanks.
