And so another year of my comedy adventures rolled by without me sacking up and doing an Edinburgh show.

Protect ya neck! And more importantly, protect yer mental health. Here’s a wee interview I did for Headsup.ie while waiting around to go onstage at a festival in Maynooth (a gig which was so awful it set my mental wellbeing back by about five years, ironically). Have a wee look and remember if something is [ READ MORE ]
Late nights, early mornings; the world of stand-up comedy can take its toll on both body and mind, so it’s important to give oneself time to relax and rejuvenate… maybe take a break from gigging, book oneself into a spa for a weekend, just let all stresses and strains slip into the background and emerge [ READ MORE ]

With the amount of driving your average comedian does, it’s likely that your car may get a bit pranged up at times.
