Hi from sunny Herts
Hi funny people. I wonder if there are any writers here that could help humanise my speech. My company will be laying me off imminently and trying to make a living at 59 isn't funny... anyway onward and upward. One area I feel I could break into is After Dinner Speaking nothing special Roundtable, Rotary that sort of thing.
I am not unfamiliar with being on stage as I was a semi-pro entertainer for over twenty years but telling the odd gag yes, comedy writer no. I have a theme - Temporary Traffic Management which was my day job for a number of years. I have purchased a few books etc trying to find humourous lines and written a few lines myself without much joy but it's difficult for a novice writer to inject comedy into anecdotes as I'm sure you will appreciate.
Anyway my request is simple. If you would like to help I can provide the stories and insight. I live in south Hertfordshire and would be happy to meet and encourage meeting up to discuss the subject matter in depth...
Later Steve
