Stop and Smell The Me
By the time you read this I will be dead, assuming you read this in the year 2100.
If you're reading it in 2025, the good news is that I am currently not dead and am, in fact, touring a brand new hour of stand-up comedy. The show will feature amusing stories and gags covering a range of topics, some of which I am currently aware of and some of which a future version of me will have written between now and then.
If I know me (and I usually have a pretty good relationship with myself), these jokes will be charming, self deprecating, laced with healthy doses of anxiety and scorn, and will be the best jokes I've written in over a decade of performing comedy.
Last year I got a review that said I was both an "accomplished comic" and a master of self-sabotage. Since then I have become even more accomplished, though I believe my capacity for self sabotage has diminished. I suppose I'm not the most qualified person to make that assessment, but I don't know who else to ask. I'm worried I'd sabotage it.
They told me I had a limit of 7000 characters for a show description, but we're already at 1200 and this already feels excessive, so I'm just going to leave some quotes from last year below:
‘Rose is a young comedian whom the older fraternity of Australian comedy need to watch out for. He is current; his material well-polished and (more importantly) funny; his banter is confident and smooth. It’s almost as if one has just walked into his living room and he is speaking only to you.’ ★★★★½ Glam Adelaide
'A sharp joke writer and a solid performer... he's really good at self-sabotage.' Chortle (UK)
