My Performance Story 2009 – 2019
2009, Madrid, Spain @ The Mad Open Mic Series, La Fiduela, Madrid.
I started doing spoken word, I began with poetry, then later monologues which led to me starting to do stand up comedy in 2010.
September 2010, Madrid @ Triskals Tavern, Thirsty Thursdays Open mic.
Initially there were no open mics specifically for stand up comedy in English, so I used to do stand up, at this rowdy music open mic @ Triskels Tavern. I was the only person doing stand up at this mic for 2 years!
2012 September, Stand Up
I spent 6 weeks doing stand up comedy in NYC. I performed @ The Broadway Comedy Club, The Pit & Gotham Comedy Club. It was there, while taking a Laughing Budda comedy workshop, that I first thought about organising comedy mics nights in Madrid. ‘cont.
