Film and post every gig of a brand new standup, with honest criticism of each performance.
Why?
For me: To force me to watch the videos! I've been filming each gig since my first, but the cringe factor is so high I've avoided watching them till now.
For you: Whether you're considering starting out in standup, or just share my comedy geek nature, there's something to be learned from watching a new comic with absolutely no live performance background go from being perfectly awful to (hopefully) decent.
Who am I?
My name is Gareth Stack and I'm a writer and comedian living in Dublin. I've been writing comic sketches and prose with Andrew Booth for several years, and we've just arrived at first draft with our debut novel - an (improbably) unpublishably filthy literary parody.
You can find some of my comedy writing over at Marshmallow Ladyboy Jesus. You can also follow @dbspin on twitter. Assuming you're not a spambot, wingnut or marketroid I'll follow you back.
