Comedian, Playwright, Director, Producer
I’m primarily a comedian who does long form jokes and not one-liners. A couple of years back I tried posting some on here, split into individual memes, but I was never happy with what I was seeing.
I’ve reworked one of those series into something resembling zine format. Hopefully you will be able to view them on here in a sensible format & if you wish, you can even print your own copies of the zines as 12 page booklets on A4 paper.
OK Julia, you’re supposed to be a comedian.
Think of something funny to say.
I’ve started a loyalty scheme for my fans …
Every 10th joke is free!
My joke about thinking trees flopped.
It was too cerebral for most and too arboreal for others.
