ABOUT ME
Hello all, I will keep this brief. I am a solicitor from Australia just looking to see the world a bit. I also perform comedy and have recently been involved in Melbourne Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival and Perth Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe for a show.
That's me in a concise nutshell.
Just going ot be travelling around, hopefully performing some standup or improvised comedy wherever I can...
i only do fun things... fun is good. how good is fun? great! things are good, all good things.
basically i was a lawyer, but i decided that i needed to leave and see some things, what things? i dont know, when for, how long? i dont know. whatever happens will be great. if i like somewhere i will stay, if i dont i will go on...
i felt like i was trapped in a monopoly board of life, constantly getting paid and losing my money around the board (and winning $10 in a beauty contest) then repeating it over and over again. each tiem going around the board is good, but a little less fun adn a little bit more repetitive. i felt static, and needed to just take a leap and do something.
PHILOSOPHY
1. you cannot regret doing something, you can only regret not doing something.
2. say yes.
3. i got your back
4. plans are for losers
5. why not be happy?
6. dont live fearing others will judge you
7. take it easy
