One down, three to go
Thanks to everyone who came along to my opening night. I had fun. I hope you did too.
Happy May the 4th everyone. Celebrate by watching “Troops” and buying some tickets to my comedy show.
Showtime, Synergy
Only a few days left until Songs for my infant daughter kicks off - hope you can make it along. If you came to last year’s show and liked it this one should be at least as good. If you came to last year’s show and didn’t like it, then this one is better. If you didn’t come to last year’s show then here’s your chance to make amends/see what all the fuss is about/see a funny show with music and stuff.
If you want to see even more of me, or want to see me do something a bit different, then I’ll be reading a story as part of FanFiction Comedy on Sunday 5 May - apart from the regular performers this show will also feature Sam Smith and Josie Long.
And if you’d like to see someone else entirely, then please feel free to consult the festival roundup I wrote for Word on the Street. It’s by no means comprehensive (there are plenty of good shows that I haven’t listed), but it’s at least a starting point.
The consequences of not having a ticket to Songs for my infant daughter could be severe (probably not though).
Get yours quickly because:
- Ticket sales have LITERALLY TRIPLED in the last week*
- The show opens real soon (Wednesday 8 May)
*which would be way more impressive if the starting number was higher

This will probably be my show’s poster*. I like it because it makes me look like I’m blind and have a combover (neither of those things is true).

People often ask me “Jarrod, where does the magic happen?” I’m very happy to finally reveal that it happens right here.

Comedy Lab
This month I’m hosting the Comedy Lab, in which comedians try out bits from their shows in the upcoming Comedy Festival.
For 2013 Comedy Lab is being hosted by The Medicine - the regular Wednesday night gig at Cavern Club on Allen Street. There are three of them - 13 March, 20 March and 27 March - and in each show three different comics will do 15 minute sets, followed by an audience Q&A. There’ll also be a different headline act each week.
I’ll tell some jokes and maybe sing some songs and if I get my shit together maybe even do some stuff from my show.
It would be lovely to see you there.
Crowdsourcing
For the show I’m doing a medley of songs which feature the word “baby”. Any suggestions?
So far I have:
Bye Bye Bye (N’Sync)
Baby (Justin Bieber)
Baby Baby (Amy Grant)
Firework (Katy Perry)
