I’ve Been Performing Stand Up Comedy for 5 Years and I’m Still Learning Everything

An essay on how it’s going and what you can learn too — Hello. Here I am. Just checking in. “Wait”, I can hear you cry, “…checking into what exactly? And who the fuck are you?” Fair point. Here’s a quick recap: I began performing stand-up comedy in 2018 and around that time I wrote an article on Medium about how Tony Robbins’…

This Song Sums Up Divorce Perfectly

Processing relationship trauma via The Waterboys. — A handful of years ago I got divorced. I experienced some trauma. Trauma is a big word. It’s an impactful word too, if perhaps a little ham-fisted, the type of word to barge into sentences, to punch you in the arm, or disturb the ambience in a fancy restaurant with…

I Bought a Year of Tony Robbins Performance Coaching and Here’s What It’s Like

Everything you ever wanted to know about Tony Robbins affiliated coaching but were too afraid to ask — Note: This article is also a YouTube video if you want to watch that. That stupid advert kept popping up on Facebook. “Be the best you” or “Super power your life” or whatever it said. It was one of those adverts where someone good looking smiles into the sunshine, dressed…

Rich People Aren’t Evil: You’re Just Jealous

You have to stop believing money is bad if you want to be happy — Rich people aren’t evil. Money doesn’t make someone bad. Wealth isn’t wrong. Just because someone can play the game of capitalism better than you doesn’t make them morally inferior, or you superior. The narrative that money and competition are inherently bad things has been kicking around for over one hundred…

Therapy Saved Me From a Breakdown and It Might Save You Too

Don’t wait until it’s too late to talk your problems through — I was anxious as I punched in the phone number; I was 35 and anxious all the time if I’m honest. I was calling a psychotherapist that I’d found on an accredited website, somewhere. He was sort of local, sort of cheap. …

Sometimes, Doing Nothing Is the Answer

We have become brainwashed to act and react to any and all stimuli — I have noticed that when people first go on a diet, they often start by buying “diet food”; low calorie snacks, vegetables, almond milk, rice cakes, whatever. I can understand why, it’s a statement of intent, I’m buying this food to show the world, and myself, I’m dieting. The trouble…

The Pride of Working Class Defeatism

The burden of class in British society through one man’s lens — Social class is so deeply ingrained in British society, it’s our very culture. It colours our every thought, our actions, our behaviour. Class is British culture, built from what biscuits you eat to what car you drive, to the names you give your kids and pets, it is class that…

AI Is Coming for Your Job, Your Art and Your Life. And It Will Be Better at All of Them.

What will be left of who we are? — I don’t like to boast, but I’ve been worried about AI long before Chat GPT swept in and started eyeing up copywriter and coding jobs a mere year ago. Or has it even been a year? I’m one of those old school folks who was wringing their hands about the…

Accepting My Father Was Human

Real people leave legacies, and sometimes, trauma. — I never got on with my dad. The soundbite reason for this is that he was a violent alcoholic. There is the story, all wrapped up in a self-explanatory bow, a tabloid headline, a sensationalist piece of gossip. But of course, that isn’t real life, that isn’t the full story…

4 Simple Questions To Change Your Life

Answers won’t save you. Questions will. — Some egghead once said, “Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers” (for the curious, it was Voltaire, I just like calling people egghead). If you ask stupid questions you’ll get stupid answers. If you ask good questions, you’ll get life-changing answers. The quality of your questions matter…
