I moisten rims to play a pint glass symphony with my fingers

I go into all the documents created by people I don't like and delete the second page

Still very new to all this but this is how it is going for me at the moment... I have 3 stages of writing: 1. Idea generation; for when I'm in a generative mood and I just write down loads of ideas I can come back to later. This can happen at any time and if I'm out and about without my notebook I'll write it in my notes app on my phone. 2. Structuring; I'll take an idea I've had and play with it in different ways, finding out how it might flow as a "bit", is it best done in my voice or the voice of a character? How many other related jokes, punchlines, audience reaction points can I squeeze in and what's the best order for them. This bit takes me longest and is for when I am in the frame of mind to focus for at least 20 mins so usually in a quiet space. 3. Performing; this is the bit for testing how the idea might be embodied on stage and new material and jokes often arises just from doing this. I explore voices, physicality, tone etc., recording myself and watching back to see what I do and don't like and then I'm at the point where I can try and get some friendly feedback. This seems to work for me at the moment but it's all very new to me so I imagine I might try other ways in future and my process will evolve as I get more experienced

@Marc Meakin I think timely would have been sharper but I still loved it anyway 🤣

Those aren't gaps in my CV, they're safe spaces from oppressive employers

Birmingham and Manchester are locked in an ongoing battle about which is the UK's "second city", as if that's some worthwhile accolade. Do you think Venice is proud to have the second highest number of canals? I don't think they're that bothered to be honest. I suppose Prince Harry was so pissed off at always being second he fucked off to America. Imagine Buzz Aldrin - second person on the moon - and Pete Conrad - third person on the moon - squabbling between them about who was really second... Buzz: "I was second because Neil went first and then it was me, obviously" Pete: "yeh but I was the second person to be the first person from a mission on the moon, so I win" We can probably settle this outright now... we've all heard of Buzz Aldrin, how many people have heard of Pete Conrad? But essentially does it even matter; and who knows how many canals are in Manchester anyway? 🤷🏻‍♂️
