9th gig at Up the Creek - Greenwich

17:10 - posted by Rowan Finch

I can now say I've performed at Up the Creek. It's a really nice venue with a long history and that's why I was so keen to perform there. I would give myself 6/10. I had reworked my opening and I think for the better. I would have given myself a 7 but I got the shakes towards the end and some people noticed - it was all going really quite well up until that moment. Only 14 acts, so it wasn't an overly late night (it's also down the road for me - woohoo).

Audience: 40-50
Venue: Up the Creek

8th gig at the Cavendish Arms

15:14 - posted by Rowan Finch

Just got back from the gig, 18th performer out of 20 acts. Mixed response, not a standing ovation for my material /delivery, but definitely not a disaster either.

The positives are that I controlled my nerves, didn't physically shake at all which enabled me to deliver the material exactly how I planned. The long delay before getting my first laugh didn't phase me.

Tried out the Kofi Annan, Guiness World Records and the Cheese Society letters. They liked the last two - unsure about the first one though. However, it was the very first time I ever aired it in public. To soon to make my mind up over it.

Amanda and Jason came and supported me - many thanks guys. Hope it didn't put you off comedy.

Venue: Cavendish Arms
Audience: 50ish
