My skills lie in acting, singing, songwriting, voice acting and impressionism, and comedy. I like making people laugh and have a good time, to the point where I usually end up laughing with them to the detriment of the piece. I want to explore multiple parts of the human condition, and find a template of which I can find numerous ways to make people laugh.

Artists that inspire me include comedic performers such as Frankie Boyle, TomSka and Fern Brady, musicians like Neil Cicierega of Lemon Demon, David Byrne of Talking Heads and They Might Be Giants, and those that combine the two such as Bo Burnham, Weird Al Yankovic and Tom Cardy. I could incorporate a more comedic delivery, as seen with Boyle and Brady, who both have a very similar rhythm in their delivery, and I could include some witty songs with cutting lyrics like with Burnham and Cardy.

The ultimate end goal of what I want to make is to have the comedic highs and emotional lows. Something that's grounded in real life, but is also ridiculous in its delivery and presentation. I want my audience to laugh and be amused, but also leaves them feeling something deeper, be it sadness, shock, intrigue or contemplation. I will achieve this by thinking about what makes me feel profound thought, taking these emotions and then adding in comedic twists to make it more light-hearted, as handling a serious topic with laughter can be done right.

My primary target audience is 16-25, the age bracket who will maybe understand more online terminology and the hardships of people of this age as they're currently going through it, people more into their adulthood will not find it funny as they won't get it.

My piece is live, perhaps some pre-recorded parts. I think this diversity will allow for more creative freedom. Pre-recorded, in the mock I did have some technical hitches. Whereas live, I struggled to stay in character and ad-libbed a lot of it, as well as laughing when I wasn't supposed to.

I could use the projector to show bits of footage, or perhaps a slideshow to add more dimensions to the piece. The multimedia will be there to give more effect and allows for more options and creative wiggle room. I could potentially do a fake Zoom call to make it look like there is more than one person other than me.

Whatever the final piece will be, it will be multiple plots and stories all combining into one, it's going to be comedic. It's going to be at its core, entertaining. But it's still undetermined what the final outcome is yet, as I'm still experimenting with ideas. Potential points of reference for future ideas include Dropout sketch comedy shows, Bo Burnham's Inside and David Byrne's American Utopia.

The style is comedic, and also layers of multimedia. Musical theatre will perhaps be featured in original works, but also perhaps there will be some musical numbers used from pre-existing works on top of it. I may use movement and gesture in some form to convey how the characters feel. I will use both physicality and music to convey emotions, feelings and ideas of the piece. I am exhibiting skills such as physical acting, songwriting and vocals.

By looking and developing what I've already done, and taking inspiration from what I've seen, it will springboard ideas for scripts, lyrics and concepts. Characters and narratives will develop as I flesh out what it's going to be.

Lighting will perhaps be minimal, sound will be important but won't be much outside of backing tracks. Costume will be important as I will be portraying multiple roles.

I need to think about each scene individually, with its own allotted time to be fleshed out equally. Each part of performance must get its own attention, so nothing is left behind and neglected. I will show people my ideas and see which ones land and which ones don't. The feedback will be taken on, considered and processed, to see what works and what doesn't. I'll have Patrick to check over my work and give me criticism, and be open to change. I should never rest on my laurels when a scene I think is good to go. There's always room for improvement. I will liaise with James as far as projection and backing tracks go, staging should be fairly simple for each scene, and resources will be considered as the piece is developed.

Who they are, what to do, where to go?

Perfect people with purpose pursue

What they were put on this Earth to do.

Deep thinkers who can philosophise,

Artists, scientists, crypto bro guys.

People right now making history,

Lots of people like that... but not me.

Purpose starts playing

The life of boring people like I?

Get a crap job, settle down and die.

So I moved to New York, 'cause why not?

I thought Broadway might give me a shot.

However, there was one small factor:

I've never been trained as an actor.

How does a lying moron make it?

Just like with every lie; fake it!
