Last Monday, I was at Jester Jesters for five minutes of frenzied joke telling. This is fast becoming one of my favourite nights, a great little space and always a friendly atmosphere.

I brought out the new bits I'd debuted at William IV again, and, again, I'd completely failed to rehearse. As a result, I stumbled over a couple of my gags, which can't have looked good. Luckily, I still got something of a laugh, so if I can actually get my act together and practice them for next time, I might be on to a winner.

I've inserted a few more "punny" gags to this routine, just to see how they go. This set is lending itself well to swapping bits in and out, as it isn't too rigidly structured, being more a series of short gags and observations. A few things fell flat, but I'm getting the hang of reacting to duff reactions, with lines like "my flatmate told me not to tell that one", which seem to go well with the persona I'm slowly creating.

All in all, a really fun night. Just need to rehearse more now.
