Then I have, there's only one place to go from that, which is up.

You have the element of surprise.

People are absolutely stunned if you do something that's kind of unexpected.

For example, I'm doing my comedy shows at the moment.

One of the very first ones I did last year was in the Mill Theatre here in Dundrum, right?

And a lot of our theatres, we've great theatres in this country and an awful lot of them have these small studio spaces.

So I was in the studio where there's about a capacity of about, I don't know, 60 or 70.

And then there was the main auditorium.

So the main auditorium, I can't remember what was on, but it started at eight o'clock and the cast included children.

My show started at half eight.

So I'm wandering around backstage, nervous as hell, trying to remember what I need to remember.

And I'm wandering around and then I came across two people separately.

And the first one said to me, oh, hi, are you the chaperone for the children?

And I was like, no.

And she was like, but what are you doing backstage?

And I said, well, I'm going on the studio stage shortly.

And she goes, are you the comedian?

And I went, yeah, I'm doing the comedy.

Yeah.

Oh, and you could see her face going.
