Since I started on the comedy circuit in January 2006, I've done well in some competitions - I was Reading Comedy Festival New Act of the Year, and I reached the final of So You Think You're Funny, the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year Competition and the Amused Moose Laugh-Off (I was the runner-up in that). I've also won the Gong Show at the Comedy Store - famously one of the rowdiest audiences in London - which was slightly weird. The Surrey Mirror called me a ''genius'', which only makes one think the writer should get out more; and Three Weeks (the Edinburgh fringe magazine) called me an ''observational genius''. Actually, what they said was ''there were moments of observational genius, but most of it was only funny if you're drunk and from London''. Did you see what I did there? Mind you, considering I do most of my gigs to drunk people in London I didn't find this as cutting as the spotty reviewer from Three Weeks evidently intended.
