I’m currently a social media app whore! Against my better judgement I got them all. It feels gross making 5 clips a day however I keep hearing if you want to “make it” as an artist you need to have an online presence so I’m giving myself one year to give it a good crack.
Here are a few links to my latest set for the finale of the Geelong Comedy Festival so please click your poison and enjoy!

This is interesting to me. I've been off socials for quite a while, but every now and again, I'm reminded, in the real world, how normalized these have become as communication platforms.
I've always seen them as marketing platforms, great for people like yourself to promote their creation/curation. It gives you a captive audience.
The part that bothered me most was the feeling of being caught in between the performer and consumer, whereas I just wanted to be there to keep in touch. With other media (movies, television, print) audience is audience. On socials, between the trolls, influencers and artists, I never felt quite sure of what I was. With the smashing together of audio-visual media, instant messaging and "the algorithm," I feel the dazzling, numbing effect left me most the time vulnerable dooomscrolling.
Good luck !
Thanks! I’ll need it.
think that's your better judgement trying to get your attention maybe? listen to it, is what i say
Nothing like a little pain for growth
but growth. . . for what? toward what?
Who knows… let’s find out together
I hear ya. And I’m optimistic about it all. I think we’re all going somewhere that’s gonna be great. I think we should pack our intuition up and make sure we take it with us - we’ll probably need it
If you want to grow quickly, I recommend focusing on TikTok. Record your videos from the front with a good camera, create several clips, and upload them to TikTok with subtitles. Then, from TikTok, direct viewers to your YouTube channel where you'll have your full-length video.
Alternatively, you can upload your full-length video to YouTube and simultaneously upload your synchronized clips to YouTube Shorts, Instagram, and TikTok, and then do the same thing: direct viewers to your full-length video.
