Ask The Industry Podcast

In this episode I interviewed comedian & founder of Mirth Control comedy Geoff Whiting. He's been a comedian for nearly 20 years and run Mirth Control comedy clubs for 18 years. Mirth Control also manages acts and puts on corporate as well as charity gigs. We talked about -  How to get gigs with Mirth control. Why you might not be getting gigs (or hearing back from them after you've applied) What they're looking for when managing acts. What the best way of getting them to notice you is. The "Jenny Collier" incident of 2014. Gender in the comedy community. The comedian's union  And lots more! If you're a comedian who wants to know the ins and outs of one of the UK's biggest bookers this is the podcast for you. If you're a comedy fan interested in starting your own night or just intrigued as to what goes on behind the curtain at a comedy club this is for you. You can find all the questions and things mentioned in the podcast in the show notes here - http://s
