Yesterday I managed, at pretty short notice, to book a couple of gigs for next week - both of which will be MC'd by GW, partner in crime for what seems like the last 200 years and immensely successful stand up comedian.
It has been quite a while since I last graced the same bill as GW so I am very much looking forward to them. For exactly the same reason however, I am nervous and apprehensive in equal measure. You see, GW graces the stratosphere of Irish comedy whereas I, generally frequent more humble environs. Obviously I would rather avoid looking like a complete twonk if at all possible but this goes beyond that - way beyond that.
It has been a long time since I was this excited about a gig, this determined to nail the performance(s). Preparations will begin well in advance I feel. Now maybe?
- Half decent material - check!
- Visualisation techniques - hmmmm.
- Positive mental attitude - errrr..... check!.... no wait... maybe... errrr...
- Motivational mantra - you wha' Gay?
... and listen to 'No One Knows' immediately before hand. No idea why, but it always seems to do the trick.
