Congratulations to all the comedians - Jae Gats, Ruth Douglas, Dan Wiseman, Ems Coombs, Will Denford, Kristian Hawkes and Adam Lloyd who performed at Comedy Mash-Up at Exeter City Gate last Thursday and a huge thanks for the very appreciative audience. Great sets, lots of laughs and a lovely setting.
On a roasting hot September evening (yikes! Global warming!) it was great to be under a Bedouin style tent covered with fairy lights. With long benches on either side of the room, I did liken it to an outdoor version of the Houses of Parliament, apart from obvious differences – everyone had turned up; no mean hecklers and no one was sleeping!
I am providing a chance for people who have been to any of my classes – clowning or stand up – to hone a set and perform. The audience feedback was overwhelmingly positive:
“Good mix of up and coming and established talent.”
“All the performers were awesome. Really enjoyed the jokes, the laughter and the atmosphere.”
“All acts were confident, fun, varied and most importantly, funny!”
Many of the performers were terrified when they turned up for their very first class with me. After a couple of weeks, their initial fear melted away as they got used to writing and performing. It always helps when I say: “There’s no need to be funny.”
So proud of you all – you funny people. More!
