What Most People

Hello.

Hello and welcome to the 10th episode of What Most People Think Breaking News.

Have I got a jingle yet for this? Breaking news. What most people think breaking news? Yeah, I'll just improvise it in the moment. But of course we had to do one today because yesterday was Labour's election launch. I don't know. Were they expecting there to be a summer electioner? They booked a space.

You know, like if there's a wedding and a couple just go off each other, you think, fuck it,

we should still have a party. And Labor announced there, well, Keir, President Keir announced his big election push. It seemed like the firing gun on perhaps what will be a very long

election campaign. And we got a first look at Labor's slogan, which was Labor's first steps, which I thought, look, I think that there were positives around yesterday for Labor and for Kirsteimer. You know, he had his tie off. He was working the rope, you don't care. It was a different kind of care. Just chilled out. You know, chilled out, entertainer. But I think the

slogan's weird. Labor's first steps. It sort of sounds like a record that you would keep of a baby.

What else are we going to have? Like Labor's first day at big school, waving Labor off to

uni. It was a weird slogan, which I'm not sure will survive all the way to the election,

but we're going to do a massive deep dive on everything that was said yesterday and how people It was a weird slogan which I'm not sure will survive all the way to the election,

but we're going to do a massive deep dive on everything that was said yesterday and how people reacted to it.

Just on a personal note, I did the first gig yesterday at the 99 Club,

which I pop up at sometimes gigs, a bunch of gigs in London.

And it was my first gig back after the tour, and I'm starting writing new gear. So if you wonder what

the gestation period is for a tour show, it's from now. So this is May 24. I'll carry on doing

stuff in the clubs right from now to the end of the year. I'll do some new material gigs early next

year. Then I'll do a work in progress thing in the autumn. And then in September of 2025, after all of that, I may just have enough jokes to occupy an hour on stage. I mean, it is quite a lot of, there's a lot of panning for gold in this game. There's a lot of padding for gold. And sometimes once you've, once you've sort of shook the comedy sieve from side to side, it does transpire that all you left it with is shit, essentially.

This is how much it takes, you know.

I'll write.

I mean, it's an incredibly low return ratio.

If any other profession had as poor return ratio as comedy, it would scare you.
