The way I run my comedy shows is very simple. It is all in the detail. My military background makes me a planner, and nothing is ever left to chance. If I can influence it, then I do....all for the betterment of my shows.
No matter what size venue, it gets the same treatment, be it a large theatre show or a small venue with 40 people packed in.
I will also support you and your business to help maximise your profit on the night. All I need is a good room, to work with good people and I will do the rest.
Lockdown however has posed some huge challenges, none more so than the shutting down of the comedy industry, and with it a great chunk of my show. So, as things stand, no live gigs. I have however turned my hand to online shows. Not pure stand up, as I am yet to be convinced that these work as a spectacle.
I am producing shows that are panel show style chat shows...all with comedians. The results have been hilarious, and in my view, there is little out there to challenge the quality of the shows.
That quality does take a great deal of time in design, planning and research....but its worth it to get the end product.
To help me keep doing these shows, and in turn offering a platform for comics to keep current, it would be hugely appreciated if you could see your way to a bit of a contribution for my time. I am a massive fan of Pick N Mix (Probably explains the diabetes !!), so please donate as much or as little as you like, donations start from just 50p. A 50p donation does rule out the heavier items such as flumps and fudge, but you can still get flying saucers, gummy bears and many others.
All your support will be going to help me relaunch Comedy Hotspot when we exit lockdown, as I am one of the lucky ones that falls through the crack in regards the government self employed funding support.
Thank you.
