Hello all,
My names Ben and I am a young and aspiring comedian, though at this stage my biggest commitment is in joining this forum. My initial goal is to find lots of local open mic nights where I can practice my stand up and to make some friends.
I'm from Slough if anyone has any ideas?
It's lovely to "meet" you all.
Ben
Hi Ben and welcome.
I could possibly get you a gig. It would be the Hertfordshire area but would obviously need to see some of your stuff first. Do you have any videos/scripts/ideas etc?
Welcome ben 
Hello Ben

I have nothing to my name as of yet though I am a creative man, and I have an awful lot of notes. I hope to have a five minute set by next weekend. Though to what quality I couldn't tell you. I'm kind of expecting to go out there and get shot down in an elaborate ball of fire, but if all goes well it'll be a massive bonus. Optimism, that's me!!!
Hi Ben, what comedians do you like? and what TV shows?

Hi! I am a big fan of Ricky Gervais and Russell Brand. I appreciate that this may be a silly thing to say but I don't really watch too much TV any more. Too much reality TV nonsense going on.
Hey Ben I'm a new stand up as well so I will answer any questions if you want to the best of my ability
