Musical Comedy Awards
On Saturday I performed my call centre song and fat song at the live heats (round three) of the musical comedy awards. I was so excited in the run up to it, and a bit nervous about performing (mainly remembering the lyrics) but Sam was more stressed than me! The backing track for the Call centre song wouldn't copy onto the blank CD that he had dashed out to get on the day of the performance ha-ha so then we tried to put it on a memory stick, but after calling the venue decided it was best to just take the laptop. The sound check cleared a lot of nerves and gave me a real rush! the bright lights and not being able to see anyone in the audience is a thrill.
I only ate an apple and a banana before the performance and didn't drink too much for fear of slurring my words! and when they called my name to perform I didn't know it was my turn!! so just said 'Jugstyle' inst my real name, which they laughed at, and this is my first performance so to bear with me. Then I did call centre then fat song and they love it and it went fine and everyone thought I had a really good chance of getting through to the next round!
I didn't get through to the next round but saw loads of great acts, met loads of funny and helpful names in the business and received some good feedback from a lot of the acts who couldn't believe it was my first performance.
Then we went to Carolin's and got pissed on GIN :)
I think I will definitely keep writing songs and might keep an eye out for some open mic nights around London as it was so much fun.
