I love thinking about the random and stupid in my spare time. It’s a really great release from all the daily stress. Except I normally have my best ideas when I’m lying in bed in the dark at about 4 in the morning and can’t be bother to turn the light on and find my notepad. I keep telling myself to write stuff down first thing in the morning, but of course it gets forgotten or really muddled.
It’s interesting, people don’t tend to find me funny in person but if they read my blogs they really enjoy it. Guess someone else would have to perform the material snort if it ever got finished. Can’t seem to be able to sit down and really get into it though. Any material would have to be in the form of sketches. Who can be bothered agonising over character development and the flow of episodes? Meh. Insomnia is a strange kind of blessing. The more tired I am, the more random and cranky and ridiculous. Can be useful…
If you read the biographies of famous comedy duos – a lot of them seem to have met at university – and they weren’t even studying anything relevant to comedy. The thing is, I haven’t met anyone remotely interested in that sort of thing. Wish I could meet someone to write with. Would absolutely love bouncing ideas off someone and brainstorming. Of course, it would have to be someone I could feel comfortable with…there’s the problem.
Also, it’s funny how a lot of the really funny people are quite neurotic in real life. A lot of it has to do with dealing with life. Well, I’ve got the first bit down pat…when’s the laughter gonna start??? Oh well, coffee where are you?
