Leicester Fester
Did my one man show at the Leicester comedy festival last thursday. Nice crowd, not many of them though in fact only 12 or so, but to be honest the whole thing was more about getting out on the road and dealing with the logistics of putting on a technically demanding show. It worked, I was happy. Also the night before I demo’ed some new anim/puppet stuff at ‘Get Happy’, a night set up for sketches character and experimental stuff, bascially anything, as long as it’s not straight stand up.
The ’sketch’ I did went well, kind of like a cross between a sketch and improv using animated puppets. I was chatting to a guy after the show who enjoyed it and they said he was surprised no one had done it before. He had a point, but then the idea wasn’t a complex one, the execution of the idea on the other hand, including the cost of laptop and projector was about a grand. That’s probably why.
