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 funny. Join me every Monday and Thursday as I pursue a path in standup comedy and showcase the people, events and sounds of my home town London. Don't worry it's still likely to contain my poorly thought though views and opinions. Find me at laughingcustard.com Original photo by Karsten Winegeart on Unsplash

Wanna hear more!

Long time listener to this podcast and I’m hooked. Can’t wait to hear how Belle’s new knee performs in the world of stand up comedy.

Apple starfish ,

Tracked you down!

Hey! I missed the chance to say ‘you’ll be missed’ when you left in November . Your mobile number is your email didn’t work (not deliberate I hope!?) , so I tracked you down this way. Love the podcast - it’s fab. Email me at work so we can catch up. Hope the new job and the new face are well :) Rx
