When you're independent and not attached to a major media organisation, they just look at you as if to say, 'Who are you again?'
From Deirdre O'Kane
You worry about whether you are match-fit, coming back to the stand-up stage.
Ultimately, I just decided stand-up comedy is a huge commitment, and if you want to be the best, you have to give it one hundred per cent.
I don't like doing things by halves, and I realised you can't do stand-up comedy part-time.
Many's the audition I waltzed into unprepared and wondered why I didn't get it. I learned the hard way.
I would have benefited a lot from proper training. I could have done with a strong wake-up call about getting jobs.
