Jim Davidson
Comedian
I don’t think I will ever forget meeting Jim
Davidson. Not just a funny guy on stage,
he truly had me rolling off the stage too.
Like christmas, a birthday and a therapy
session all bundled into one. He won last
year’s Celebrity Big Brother, where he got
to show another side to himself. He told
me about how hard it was, but then had
his best pal Dappy by his side to keep him
sane.
I spent a little while talking with Jim and
discovered how truly lovely he really is.
It’s hard to believe that a man with such
great character on stage actually gets a bit
nervous before a show.
This summer he appeared on “Forth at
the Fringe” and his own show “No Further
Action”. A performance about being on
and winning CBB, his life and the issues
behind the sexual allegations brought
up last year. Edinburgh got to see the
extraordinary character light up the stage.
He caused barrels of laughter of over a
1000 plus theatre goers.
I met Jim in order to receive his personal tips on how to make it in the comedy industry. To share with
those who are new to it or maybe want to try and improve on what they are already know.
“Enjoy the Buzz!”
“Get sponsorship.”
“Be the life and soul of the party”
“Show people up at dinner parties!
“Be a great story teller.”
“Find an audience, any audience!”
“It’s not about being rich and famous- it’s about
BEING FUNNY!”
“With the Comedy scene changing and being
now more accessible - it is getting more difficult
to get noticed
SO!
Get the right agent!
“Help the agent make money to get you
somewhere!”
“Never stop telling people your stories-tell
friends, tell anyone who will listen.”
“Don’t rehearse - be natural!
Be yourself - it’s important for the audience to
get to know ‘you.’ ’”
“Enjoy it!”
