Then don’t wear a cardigan
As I started out doing stand-up comedy I started to notice that when I wore a cardigan, things seemed to go better. It was as if the audiences bought my character faster and I felt more secure.
I told this to my friend Thomas (who have been doing stand-up for way longer than I) and his advice came instantly. Then next time, don’t wear a cardigan!
Because if you build these rituals in your head — and that’s where they are, in your head — you’ll become dependent on them, and the day you don’t have your favourite slippers on and favourite song playing in the background it just won’t work.
