Laughed my head off at the Komedia fundraiser in Brighton for the first Live Comedy Day. with Zoe Lyons. Grassroots venues are vital for our thriving live comedy scene and developing comics. Glad they are banding together today! #livecomedyday 🤩🎤😂👏 livecomedyday.co.uk
Today is the UK’s #LiveComedyDay, where seeing #comedians gig live in venues across the country is encouraged… livecomedyday.co.uk for further info.
So many good performers out there. Folks are only slowly getting back into going to see comedy shows… definitely need more laughter in our lives!!
Oh look, sometimes I don’t wear yellow. Here I am as a child (46) in 2010. I had survived the brutality of King Gong to earn an actual spot of my very own at the Comedy Store in London. #livecomedyday
#Livecomedyday #MyFirstGig
My first gig, I'm not even sure I've the date right but sometime in 1994? Downstairs At The Kings Head had alternate Irish & Jewish nights every Tuesday- so my FIRST gig was at the Irish night, and my SECOND gig was at the Jewish night the following Tuesday.

It's #LiveComedyDay - amplifying this lil' ol' industry with a comedy club in every corner of the land.
Come to a gig, one of mine (google Paul Kerensa Gigs) or someone else's. Otherwise we're talking to empty rooms (done that gig, but I've also played a packed Royal Albert Hall, so they even out)
Exeter Arts Centre c.1986. Not my very first stand-up gig, but the first one where it really took off. I was seized by a kind of comedy magic, improvising like hell, getting gales of laughter.
Happy Live Comedy Day!

A man with a pink shirt and a man-bun stands facing a small audience with a microphone. There are five people in the audience, all laughing, incredibly. The room is the upstairs room of a cocktail bar. It has shabby chic vibes
Today is #LiveComedyDay so here's a pic of my first ever stand-up gig back in 2022. I'm surprised to see how much people were laughing because there's an anxiety-related memory gap from those 5 minutes! I only did 5 gigs that year and then took a bewildered break, before returning to comedy in 2024
