Stand-Up - Baby Simple, Oxford 24/02/09

Here is my new stand-up! I think you'll find it moving and educational:



If there's one thing I've learned from this performance, it's that the first word of your routine, your opening salvo, your jumping-off point, should probably not be "um".

I like to think the large stretches of audience silence were deep contemplation, rather than boredom.

My ending montage suffered slightly for the lack of 'Wind Beneath My Wings', but I stuck in a bit of Brahms. It turned the tone from jolly parody, to something more emotionally resonant. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's creating the illusion of depth.
