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!

Me, before my first ever gig.

My #myfirstcomedygig was at Hull Truck Theatre as part of the first group of graduates from Kevin Precious Comedy Course, along with several other great comics, including Elise Lawrance and Sarah Adams who can also be regularly be seen live somewhere near you.
