I try to keep performing as much as possible - I just like to. I used to take huge gaps off between gigs, now I just like to do stand-up gigs as much as I can.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.
Sometimes, I have lost out on a gig because I was not high enough profile.
I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.
I hate complacency. I play every gig as if it could be my last, then I enjoy it more than ever.
The more you write tunes, the better they will become. The more you do gigs, the better you will become.
I'm tired of being in a band, but I do want to continue making records and performing, at least a little bit. Making the records isn't always fun. It's fun to be finished with them. Making beautiful things can be quite painful.
Some gigs will go great. I figure you do a gig, and as many as can get there will get there.
I started stand-up in 2007. I'd done a couple of gigs before that, but not much, and I was in a sketch group at Uni from 2005 as well.
I do road gigs occasionally but I don't want to go out on the road for months at a time.
My gigs are built on improvisation: I go out there and I'm like the Energizer bunny.
