Knock Knock, Me Again

I perform a new stand-up set, a story about a motorway awareness course, to 3 duos at their respective homes (Vicki Carder & Megan Yeattes / Brad Wilkie & Rosanna Gilby / Aimee Connolly & Aidan Litterick)  and 1 solo person online from across the globe (Karla Herschell). This episode includes discussions about false starts and the importance of that first line, the issues with highlighting your own mistakes, whether or not dad jokes have a place, and some strong advice from all my guests about my jokes, performance style and character development. I don't finish the set with a full version of my Motorwary Awareness set because...  you've heard too much of it already! But if you want me to post it separately... say the word.Recorded and edited by Tanna ChamberlainArtwork by Tanna ChamberlainMusic licensed by audiojungleFollow Knock Knock Me Again Youtube Channel for videos of rehearsalsand follow me on instagram (tannacjc) to see behind-the-scenes archives in my highlightsWebsite coming soon.

In this episode, I attempt a comedy set directly to the podcast microphone, with no guest, in attempt to research the difference.My comedy set, "Howdy Partner" is a story about an old job at an escape-room company.

This is my first "quarterly review".I talk about how the experiment is going so far and muse about comedy-related things...I expound my joke about physio tape, propose a new direction for the next batch of episodes, contemplate "non-funny" comedy, use Bo Burnham and Ricky Gervais as examples to questionably illustrate a point, muse over genre-blurring in popular media and how providing a lens through which to view something can transform it, use a couple of televised examples to embellish this point including Jonathan Creek, ponder the importance of providing accessible context, bring back my "lickadickaday" joke, play an extract from The Apprentice UK, consider subjectivity and influence, share some direct feedback I’ve received so far about this podcast and the comedy within, open up a little about my state of mind, tell you a story about working for an escape room company, share of one of my silliest daydreams, declare myself an artist, defensively justify why I should be paid for my work and apologetically ask for reviews on apple podcasts. Disclaimer: The next 3 episodes after this one, when they are published, are supposed to be primarily funny. This particular episode though is supposed to be primarily reflective and/or informative.Recorded and edited by Tanna ChamberlainArtwork by Tanna ChamberlainMusic licensed by audiojungleFollow Knock Knock Me Again Youtube Channel for videos of rehearsalsand follow me on instagram (tannacjc) to see behind-the-scenes archives in my highlightsWebsite coming soon.
