I got a call asking if I’d like to perform at the Reading Festival. Why not, I thought.
Ha! I had no idea of the scale of this thing.

I traipsed behind a crowd of thousands of people from the station and soon realised it was…. Reading… the Reading Festival… this meant the comedy tent would be… massive…

And it was. What an experience to perform for such a big crowd. It’s like nothing I’ve ever done. For one, you have to get yourself heard over Metallica and two, you have to keep the crowd’s attention coz they can just wonder off if they don’t like what you’re doing. Apart from a couple of guys who really looked like they needed the toilet, I think I managed both these feats. Job done!

It was a bonkers afternoon but at least if I get invited to something like this again, I’ll know what to expect.

Come on, Cheltenham and Gloucester Book Festival, I’m ready!
