Diary of a Wannabe Comedian

Comedy EN ↓ 748 episodes

Published every Monday and Thursday evening. A real life soap opera following my journey through creativity & comedy. Every year I start a diary and every year I've given it up by the middle of February. In 2022 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 2023, is ever so slightly rebranded from its original title of Diary of a Wannabe Human to Diary of a Wannabe Comedian, but the focus remains on all things creative and all things...
