057: Paul Sharplin - Jumping in the deep end of comedy

Paul Sharplin has only been in the comedy game for 15 months. But
that hasn't stopped him from competing at Raw Comedy twice, and
running a comedy room - Guerilla, in the Melbourne suburb of
Hawthorn. But as you'll learn from this School of Hard Knock
Knocks podcast interview, Paul just likes to jump in head first.


Newcomers to comedy will enjoy this podcast, because we cover the
early years of a comedian, which include those dreaded open mic
nights, but also how to get onto a poster of a curated room. Paul
also shares advice for how to move up the comedy ladder and
perform at Melbourne's top comedy club - the Comics' Lounge.


We also challenge Paul in the 'Pay It Forward Joke Challenge',
with the word 'barbie', and he lays down the challenge for our
next interviewee with his word, 'pedestal clock'. You're going to
have to Google that one.


And a reminder for those living in Melbourne and Adelaide, who
are keen to learn stand-up comedy. Our guest comedians for our
Melbourne May 27 - 31, and Adelaide June 4 - 8  stand-up
comedy courses, are the legendary Richard Stubbs and Glynn
Nicholas, respectively. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity
to get coached by Australia's most experienced comedians, so
