Comedian

When doing my BA(hons) I was watching allot of comedy, because I was writing mostly comedy pieces. I like to write stories with a funny edge to them, whether it be black humor or light. but in that period I decided I wanted to be a Comedian. Until I decided I wasn't funny. I told this to my bed mate at the time (long story, involves stolen shoes,) and she was like "what are you talking about? You're the funniest person I know!"

It's weird to say I don't think I'm funny I realize, when my web comic is meant to be funny. And I am often told by readers it is the most funniest thing they have ever read as well. And most the time I'm not purposefully being funny. But once when I went back and read some of it, just to go over what I'd already done, I realized that I'd managed to do allot of accidental satire. I realized I'd captured allot more humor than ever intended. So I don't know, maybe I'm just a natural at writing such stuff.

But lately, I have been having that train of thought again. Maybe it's because of my mission to become a famous person. Or because I watch these comedians and think: I can do that. Not that I'd want to... I mean... I'm pretty stage shy. And I hate my voice. I think I have such a childish voice. and I can't even hear it. But i listen to it on video or mic and it just sounds so BAD! I hate it! It's not a comedian's voice, or even a famous persons voice. It is just a bad voice. But if I keep thinking about this route, I am going to feel more and more like I could do it. Not that I'd know how. Or have the confidence to do it. I feel like such a female David Mitchell. but perhaps less socially awkward.... but not that much less.
