The highlight of last week for me was being asked to host a fund raising event in Llangynidr New Village Hall near Crickhowell. This is a beautiful part of the country, picturesque and idyllic, but were they prepared for some entertainment Phil Evans style?
It was lovely to see such a great turn out for such a good cause, raising much needed funds for the local school.
At the end of the evening, I had to put all of my improvisation skills to the test, by hosting a “Mr & Mrs” style quiz show! Having never done this before I’m pleased to report that it was a hilarious end to the evening, thanks to the contestant and audience participation. Trust me; this was nothing like the old TV version and could have ended in tears.
Working unscripted with a live audience can be both challenging and rewarding, but the risk paid off and this is something that I would love to do again, ideally as a TV recording.
So next week I intend putting time to one side to contact show producers. Why not? Life is all about taking risks… you never know unless you give it a try!
