Blake Everett : King of Nothing

blake.jpg

Tell us about your show. It’s a unique mix of stand-up, musical comedy and sketch. So there’s something in there for the whole family. Except kids –  they will be scarred for life.

When was the idea for the show born? I worked really hard in pursuing comedy as a career last year and found I was only taking little steps to where I’d like to be, which is fine, it takes time. It doesn’t matter if I’m the king of nothing, I’m doing what I love and that’s the important thing.

What does your show teach the audience? Probably nothing, or if it’s something, it’s not worth learning. I’m a comedian; not a teacher.

What inspires you about MICF? MICF is that unofficial deadline for a lot of local comedians to perform their last year or two’s material before starting again. It’s inspiring to see your friends (and yourself, I guess) go from five-minute spots to a 50-minute show alongside some of the world’s best.

Describe your show in three words. Funny, different and rule-breaking (broke the rules right there – that’s five words, unless you don’t count the ‘and’, and consider the hyphenated ‘rule-breaking’ to also be one word, in which case it would be a three-word description, but after this explanation would be 44 words).
