Rachel Miller's Diary 17/04/2024

OMFG LOL just found the trailer for the anti-drugs campaign I acted (terribly) back in the day, that's now part of my stand up comedy set.

I think the full thing was a CD ROM the schools had to buy...

The important message here kids, is:
don't do Am Dram. Just say no.

Thanks & huge well done to all the team at Glasgow International Comedy Festival, what an amazing festival!๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜

I had a brilliant experience putting on my own mixed-media work-in-progress, where I greatfully filled 80 seats at The Old Hairdressers, then performing with Zara Gladman and Friends at ร’ran Mรณr for 2 sold out 250 seaters in her unique, mixed-media musical comedy extravaganza. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿฅ‚๐ŸŽต๐ŸŽญ๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽฅ๐ŸŽž

The cherry on top for me was getting to enjoy a night of comedy legends at where I saw all the Scottish nominees for The Sir Billy Connoly Award. Zara, who was a nominee for the Sir Billy Connolly Award also kindly projecting my gaint mug ๐Ÿ˜‚ onto the screen for a wee bit of her character act "West End Mum" along with a section of her Oran Mor show ๐Ÿ˜

Watched hilarious sets by all the nomineess and some other brilliant visiting acts to the fest, such as one of my faves Kiri Pritchard-McLean and the evening was hosted by Susie Mccabe who won the Award ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿ†๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿฅ‚ !๐ŸŒŸ
And a very moving speech broadcast from the big yin himself ๐Ÿคฏ๐ŸŒŸ

Elaine C Smith also spoke & made a great point about Glasgow being not only the funniest city (sorry to my native Edinburgh but I lived in Glasgow for 12 years and it's hard to disagree!!)but also the amount of female comedy talent that comes from the city ! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Huge respect to everyone involved in running this massive and diverse festival, hope you all enjoy a good rest/ hangover๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿฅ‚๐ŸŒŸ
