First shift for Comedy Festival tonight!
My boss just called me up (yes, I have a boss now!) and asked if I could cover a shift for tonight. Whoop! I wasn't meant to have my first night until Friday but now I get to work almost a week earlier than I'd expected. However that does mean that I'm a button unprepared. I recently found out that it is actually in my job description that I need to be funny. Apparently it's alarming the amount of people that come up to you with things like "Oh, you're a comedian? Tell us a joke!". It's also no good to tell them you're not actually a comedian, you just work for comedians, because that's bound to lose you a door-sale. So we're expected to have some one-liners prepared. I'm working on mine now. I have written a few down from various websites as a backup just in case I can't think of anything. They're very funny. I don't think I can match that.
