Journalist Clare Johnston finds out comedy isn't easy
Until Thursday night, I had never fully appreciated just how tough it is to be a comedian. The constant travel is one thing but the pressure to get the biggest laughs - that instant barometer of how good you are at your job - doesn't fade with experience. You are only as good as your last gig.
