Parties are no joke for comics

As we head into September and are still waiting for that ‘Indian summer’ by the way, I’m rather surprised by the amount of enquiries coming in for my Christmas comedy show.

Yes, it appears that people are already thinking of and planning that ever popular end of year party, the one that they try desperately to forget for weeks after, having done something totally embarrassing that was undoubtedly alcohol related.

It turns out in most cases that photocopying naked parts of your anatomy and leaving them on the bosses’ desk is a unique way of handing in your notice!

If your company is posh enough to put on a meal, for a comedian these events are nothing like a normal gig and come with a ‘risk warning’ at best.

It’s usually only brave, seasoned professionals that survive performing these gigs and walk away unfazed.

A few years back myself and two close comedy friends experienced such an occasion in a well known hotel in the heart of Swansea, and even to this day, every time we meet up we have flash backs of the event.
