Once I started driving around the country, word soon spread that I had a car and I wasn't afraid to use it and before long people started to phone me. For the first time in my comedy career I was popular in the end I was receiving calls every day. Admittedly 98% of the people that called didn't even ask if I was a frikin comedian. I'd learnt my first valuable lesson. In the comedy world it's not what you know, but who you drive.
Despite this, this is the only job I've ever wanted. When I moved from Bognor Regis to London 12 years ago. I had one goal in mind to become a stand up comedian. Its just a shame it took me so long to discover that the key to comedic success was a diesel car, red bull and the ability to bite your lip and smile politely whilst begin bent over the proverbial barrel. Apart from the joy of driving up and down the country and for the first time in my life doing something I want to do. I have always found it hard to vocalise why I enjoy it so much, but in the first of these clips Mike Manera hits the nail on the head.
