Hallo lovely people.
I’m so pleased that a few more of you can come to the show, and that I was able to turn those last two promoter holds into 6 free slots for you Patreonites through the magic of interior design (telling them to pull a few more chairs into the room).
To say thanks for all the supportive comments and emails in response to the giveaway post, apart from giving away four more tickets than I had intended, I wanted to do a video Q&A.
I’m relearning the (very tightly scripted, heavily techy) ETHOS show for tomorrow. Because I will obviously be turning up at the venue hours before the show to fret (I am that nerd, yes), I figured I might as well film something while I’m a nervous backstage wreck, just before the show.
Ask me anything, below here or in a private message if you’d prefer to keep it anonymous and I’ll try to answer it and put up a video about an hour before the show. It doesn’t need to be show related.
A pre-emptive answer: yes, I am procrastinating.

I noticed that too. Maybe it is because we still feel compelled to offer our input even when we have nothing of value to add? :p
2019-02-19 01:56:57 +0000 UTCIs it weird that all the people writing questions appear to me men ?
2019-02-17 13:22:11 +0000 UTCWhat's your favourite sitcom or sitcoms?
2019-02-17 12:01:30 +0000 UTCDid you make a deliberate decision to record the show in London, or was it just a matter of convenience and timing?
2019-02-17 11:48:43 +0000 UTCFollowing one of your legendary conversations have you ever had a complete reversal of an opinion that you had previously held?

2019-02-17 10:04:51 +0000 UTCI think those are both interesting and inter-related factors when it comes to creative work, particularly comedy and podcasting. Especially if you are very straight and very cis, it is interesting to consider these factors. Your work is always well reasoned and insightful (even on the bugle) and it might be illuminating to get your take on that aspect of your work.

2019-02-17 10:03:40 +0000 UTCTo clarify so I can answer properly do you mean my personal sense of gender, or my sexual preference?
2019-02-17 09:24:42 +0000 UTCSpeaking after your experiences with Trilogy: There were a number of (brilliant, effective) things that you were able to do in post-production that are not possible (achievable?) in a live performance (adding voice overs, explanation/expositions & additional voices). Are you thinking about using those techniques in your art again? Can they be intertwined into live performance? Would that be significantly different/more-difficult than a tightly scripted tech-heavy performance?

2019-02-17 03:04:07 +0000 UTCAre you a consequentialist, even coming from your Buddhist upbringing?

2019-02-17 00:41:20 +0000 UTCDoes it feel different doing comedy as part of a collaborative effort like The Bugle compared to doing it in your own? Good luck for the recording, it's a great show and you'll do grand!
2019-02-17 00:19:57 +0000 UTCFrom a craft point of view, how are you finding the process of relearning Ethos compared to relearning the trilogy?
2019-02-17 00:08:39 +0000 UTCHow do you feel that your gender preference (or lack thereof) influences your work?
