And it did make me think, well, actually, there are plenty of people who have kind of come before me who have actually managed to make it work out for a career.

So you can sort of dare to dream.

I mean, it's certainly not a guarantee by any means, you know, just because...

you've gone to a university that certainly doesn't make you funny because it's not, you know, funny is so subjective.

And so it was, it was not a guarantee ever, but it certainly did make me think, well, maybe I can be slightly blindly optimistic about this and that's not so much a bad thing.

And all that lot have gone into it.

Because otherwise you'd probably give up after your last bad gig, you know, because it's so horrible to kind of go through, but you have to sort of come back and think,

No, no, no, I can do better.

And there's definitely a tipping point.

And it's never really a specific point.

It's usually probably over a period of like six months where it's probably the transition between, am I going to give this up?

Or is this now my career?

And I'm now dead set on this kind of being the thing that I'm aiming for.

And you kind of make, you have to sort of psychologically make that decision.

For me, it was relatively early.

And it was because I was doing my PhD.

at the time so and it was a sponsored PhD so it was you know I was being paid to do it so it was a proper thing and and but yeah a very specific point I remember I'd done one year of the PhD and it was approaching the summer and I got into the Footlights tour show so that was a show that was so I'd auditioned for that and that was quite life-changing actually because basically that they could only afford to send five of you up to the Edinburgh Fringe because your accommodation is basically paid for and um so it can't be like a show with like 20 people in and um and so

So I, you know, they only choose five.

And so they had quite a rigorous audition process for that.

And I remember just sort of wanting it so much.
