This is from a monthly musical comedy night in London called 'The Distraction Club' where the UK's musical comedians gather for what more closely resembles a party that an audience happens to be watching than a gig. It's always immense fun, and we're always encouraged to try new things and collaborate with each other on stage. (Musical comedians are usually kept apart from each other at regular gigs, because who wants two musical comedians on one bill?)
During my sound check, it suddenly occurred to me that I had an amazing backing band at my disposal. (Mitch Benn on bass, Kirsty Newton on keys and Ivan Sheppard on drums). So, with one rehearsal, ever, we did this.

Have you ever watched Prime Minister's Questions? Every Wednesday at 12:00 on BBC2, all the nation's MPs gather together to go "rrrrreeeeeeeerrrrr". Why? Is this a good thing? Let's watch a video all about it.
P.S. This video might have gone out of date by the time you're watching it, cos there'll've been an election shortly after.
Wow. There's a tense I don't often get to use. There'll've.

I want to keep making videos, but they cost lots and lots of money to make - camera/kit hire, insurance, props, costumes, and time. Especially time. Time is by far the most expensive item. It takes ages and ages to write, storyboard, plan, shoot, and especially edit videos. And all that time is time spent not doing a proper job where I'd earn money for things like rent and pasta.
So that's where you come in. With your help, I'll be able to turn my hobby into my job and I'll be able to upload much more videos, of much higher quality. I've got loads more video ideas and I can't wait to share them all with you.
Even $1 per month will make a difference, and I'll be eternally grateful.
