Rightihoo then. I did it. I went on stage and got gonged off at 3mins10secs! It was more fun than you’d expect. I was amazed at how little I could see of the audience. I was amazed at how relaxed I felt and I was amazed at how easy it felt. It was a strange experience and there is a lot for me to assimilate.
But it was fun and I’m more than glad I did it.
If it's something you're considering I'd certainly reccomend it.
I had a couple of drinks before I went on stage. I was reasonably nervous but also very relaxed as I couldn't imagine what it would feel like once I was on. I knew I knew my material and in some ways it was a bit like going for an exam.
When I stood on the stage with the lights glaring at me it felt like I was stood before "God" or something like that. That is until I started talking.
My opening line "grew my hair long to look like John Lennon, ended up looking like Meatloaf" got a laugh. The moment I heard that I relaxed.
It's crazy.
Do it.
