Today I made a start on creating my own solo comedy piece.
I wrote down notes on what style of comedy I could perform.
- Self deprecation- talking bad about yourself " I am the type of person who....." "every time I...."
- Character comedy/ Caricature
- Musical comedy
- Banter
- Parody
-Story telling
- Monologue
I came up with the idea of talking about one of my friends.
The funny thing about her is that she's not the cleverest of people. very gullible and not the brightest of people. I had a funny story about my friend where she went into her school (which is Jewish) with a Nazi sign drawn on her hand, and another story were her twin brother tricked into looking like a total 'twat'.
My noted for this performance are:
- start with a flipboard/chart
-doodle funny drawings to make audience laugh the start talking about Liv. Describe who she is, what she looks like.
- draw Liv.
- Tell the audience about how she wanted to be a tattoo artist
- bought a fake tattoo pen
- Goes to jewish school
- say I was driving past her school one day and saw her walking home like a absolute....
This idea will need expanding and a lot of testing out.
-monologue style.

The making of our performance 21/01/15
21/01/15
Today we started the making of our comedy performances.
I decided on performing one group performance and one solo. I have to make each performance last 3 minutes however the group performance is a trio therefore will have to last 9 minutes. The trio is a character sketch based on three old ladies (Eleni and Hannah are two of the characters).
Today we got together as a group and discussed stereotypical old women for ideas that we can write down for a bit or even for costume and props. The list includes:
1. Walking stick
2. Zimmer frame
3. Gangster Grannies
4. Tena ladies
5. Sticky hard boiled sweets
6. Tissues
7. Granny knickers
8. Slippers
9. Grand Children
10. Care Workers
11. Widows
12. Perms
13. Musky perfume
14. Big bags
15. Pills/Drugs
16. Dentures
17. Trollys
18. Courting
We had a think as what we could do to make all of this connect together and make it funny.
We decided that our character is going to be what makes people laugh not just what we say, for example our aim is to make the audience laugh from just our entrance onto the stage, before speaking or communicating in any way, by our appearance.
