Graduate looking for role in comedy

30years • London

Summary

I'm looking to go into the Comedy industry, as it's something I've been passionate about ever since I was a child brought up on Seinfeld and reruns of Cheers. I'm particularly interested in live comedy, and would love to work helping to run a comedy club or regular comedy events.

Experiences

Promoter

08-2015 - 08-2015 Social and cultural activitiesI promoted shows for Just the Tonic during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as part of the street team, though I often helped out with front of house. I also had a special role of holding a box over a fire exit sign every day for the hour duration of Comedy in the Dark to ensure that it remained exactly that. I believe this speaks volumes as to my dedication.

Intern

10-2014 - 01-2015 LegalI did whatever I was required to for the smooth running of the legal department in Ho Chi Minh City, including proof reading, making notes during conference calls and research.

Extra-professional Experiences

Officer Cadet

East Midlands University Officer Training Corps
10-2012 - 06-2014

While at university I was part of the OTC, which trained me in the basics of soldiering and the role of an officer in the British Army

Mentor

Intouniversity
11-2011 - 07-2014

I was mentor to a child in his final year of primary and first year of secondary, helping him with his studies as well as his social side. It required me to relearn quite a lot of science as well as convincingly act like I meant to lose to him in chess, despite having taught him to play only a few weeks before, though I (increasingly desperately) maintain that if I had been paying attention I wouldn't have. I also helped with the after school club, which was broader and involved many more children, at times a nightmare and at times a delight.
