Hello friends, our next show is 20th of June (ticket link going up shortly) and I would love to keep in the spirit of the RA Summer Exhibition for our June and 17th July show and would love both previous and new acts to sell stuff as well as flyers for any nights you may run!

I've written a piece about being a working-class comedian for the British Comedy Guide. It talks about how hard it is for comedians from low-income backgrounds to do the Edinburgh Fringe, and how difficult it was for me last year. #WorkingClassComic comedy.co.uk/live/features/…

The response to the research was overwhelming - in the year since publication, it has inspired podcasts, conferences, press campaigns, MP inquiries and more. Check out the @The18Percent podcast for some good listening: the18podcast.podbean.com

Flaws in the industry, such as lack of sufficient education, grants, connections or opportunities etc. (I recommend the @The18Percent, @ArtsEmergency and Panic! It's an Arts Emergency report for more stats and life experiences on it) The main point me and the writer I think are

Take 11 minutes to watch my speech. Some of you might find it uncomfortable and too direct. But it is my opinion and experience and I make no apology for speaking out. It may help people who are sincere and want to make real change. Contact [email protected]

I loved doing this last year. It's a wonderful thing set up that tells comedians from poorer backgrounds that yes, you can play in the same playground as the rich kids. That support is vital. You should definitely support it if you can.

We've got some great episodes coming very soon - apologies for the radio silence of late: our producer had her laptop stolen and unfortunately our host doesn't have the money to get one, so we've been struggling to edit! Please bear with and we will get some more up v soon. Thnx

Please donate to Best in Class: the Edinburgh show that gives working class comics a viable option to attend the Fringe, do comedy, and actually earn some money. It was SO good last year, let's help to make it even better this year: gofundme.com/best-in-class?…

The next person who tells me that wanting and saving up for nice things (an iPhone, nice glasses, a leather jacket) is "betraying your working class roots" will get get a right proper working class slap.

Loving the amount of academics stating their working-class identity in bios. Recognise that having a PhD removes us from certain aspects of precariousness our friends & family face daily, but stating we’re working class is political when entering traditional middle-class spaces.
