This episode of Question This Life is a solo episode with your host.
Key Topics:
- Continuing the reflections around being yourself in the moment, getting out of your own way - in the podcast as much as when performing on stage and in day-to-day life.
- A new few comedy set reflections - calling the room, talking to the audience, feeling the vibes and tensions.
- The idea that most audience members at a show want to see something, want the performer to do well - playing to this and trying to be as present as possible.
- Reinvestigating older themes / ideas on stage after some time, to try and draw new perspectives / laughs.
- Reinvigorating a comedy gameshow idea into a live event having secured a venue - initial thoughts and reflections.
- Integrating the idea of not 'second guessing' yourself from the stage performance to day-to-day life.
- The importance of knowing what you don't know. What little you know vs the huge amount that you don't know.
- Cat update! 8 months since adopting 2 kittens, how they have settled, what their individual vibe is. Building a lovely relationship with them.
- Interesting things cats do like the 'kneading' action on your stomach, finding and hiding things, playing catch - their interactions with one-another. Becoming a crazy cat person.
- Setting boundaries with pets - keeping one room as the 'human room' - and how they have learnt to accept this.
