Did you ever get any recordings of your comedy when you were doing it live?Matthew Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16675719484819810707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-90653739791650000332011-11-22T14:40:47.184+00:002011-11-22T14:40:47.184+00:00I'm really sorry you lost this.

Also for the way you lost it - with chronic illness, it's not like you ever wake up one day, realising everything you've lost and knowing exactly where you stand. It's like the kind of bereavement that happens when someone goes missing. You have hope. You have spells when you come to terms that they're not coming back, but other spells where you still hope. Sometimes there are even reported sightings! So in many ways it's harder than a sudden trauma. <br /><br />It's probably a stupid question - because it's probably something you've been asking yourself for the last four years - but is there anything else you could channel your stand-up energies into? I realise there's no way to substitute that magical interaction between yourself and a live audience. We all know what to do with the lemons life hands us, the trouble is that the recipe for lemonade can take a long time to work out...<br /><br />I hope that you catch a break with your health sometime soon.The Goldfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213378454070776331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-21695885357028740962011-11-22T00:53:34.519+00:002011-11-22T00:53:34.519+00:00I miss it.

I sometimes even miss the standard comedian diet of limp Ginsters pasties in motorway service areas.<br /><br />But if I could have my time over and not do it at all knowing that I would have to give up due to health a few years later; I wouldn't change a thing. It sucks that I lost stand up, but I definitely think loving and losing is better than not loving in the first place.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16714918894319998184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233625.post-65110296358272306562011-11-21T23:04:23.049+00:002011-11-21T23:04:23.049+00:00I find this very moving.

I was never well enough to have a go in the first place (from the organisational standpoint mentioned above), and now I'm almost glad about that. I had a flatmate at one stage who did stand-up, and the way it clearly made him feel, what he was like when he got home afterwards, is something I can't really put into words. I'd hate to have started and then have to give it up. Tennyson said that it's better to have loved and lost, but sometimes one wonders if that's true. Probably is, but you know, it's a close run thing.Jannoreply@blogger.com
