Standup Comedy - Can anyone do it?
Certainly as the comedy industry gets bigger and bigger, more and more comics, writers and producers are needed - but what are the chances of a journalist (notorious for their absent sense of humour) making the grade as a comic?
Richard Morris - the chief reporter at the Hastings and St Leonards
Observer - recently took to the stage after a local comedy club manager offered
him a ten-minute slot following a professional turn, and his first-ever gig has created some buzz on the comedy scene
leading to Morris being scheduled to appear at London’s Comedy Store.
You can check out a Youtube video of Morris below - I wonder if he has a gag writer…
