How'd the competition go? Was it city life?

Geoff Taylor - Gullible Chump Posted Oct 9, 2001
It was the 2nd heat City Life's competition. I had a whale of a time. Agraman said he was "impressed" with me and told the audience to applaud my "bravery".
Why was I brave? Because I spent my entire set talking about the American/Afghan situation. Heh heh.
Half the audience were up for it and had a good laugh. Most of the rest sat glaring at me with folded arms. Great fun!
Not surprisingly I didn't get through. But with a set like that I wanted feedback:-
One of the judges told me that she thought I was funny with good presence and delivery. It was just that the audience wasn't comfortable with the material.
I spoke to the reviewer for the MEN web site, (ManchesterOnline). She said that she'd quoted one of my jokes in the review. The editor cut the joke and also cut out all mention of me!
Tell you more tonight...
