Diary of a Wannabe Comedian
Every year I start a diary and every year I've given it up by the middle of February. Last year I challenged myself to do a podcast every day (Season 1). Having achieved this goal I decided to continue with a daily podcast for Season 2. This season, Season 3 which started on the random date of 23rd May, is ever so slightly rebranded from its original title of Diary of a Wannabe Human to Diary of a Wannabe Comedian, but the focus is all things creative, all things funny. I did designate this year as the Year of Creativity after all! Join...
