January Fever

I can't help but notice the swell of renewed energy in January as everyone, refreshed or perhaps relieved at the end of the holidays, returns to their work.

My calendar beckoned me to fill it up and so I've been busy emailing contacts, finding shows and creating shows, and the good news is, it's working!

I now have shows right up until April in the works, and an invitation to take part in a cabaret-style Fringe show in July.

It feels like a cycle sometimes of creating the opportunity, then doing the work, then seeing what other opportunity that work will open up for you. I'm trying to ignore those little voices .. the doubts and fears... so I can leave more room for my own voice.

One of my favourite moments of the year so far was listening to all the excellent readings at the Yellow Dog Tavern, at a new show created by Cathy Herbert. She had the idea to start a night of comedy writings read aloud, and the next night she has booked is February 8th, again at the Yellow Dog, the name of the show being, ' Comedy on Paper'. Definitely go check it out!
