   I need to get out of stand-up all together. Every December contracted employees for comedy clubs seem to think it’s no biggie if they just don’t pay when they normally do. And so after a disastrous start to the month where I had over £2,000 of unexpected bills I currently have £2,500 of outstanding invoices that are late. My rent’s a week late and I have £56 in total and haven’t bought food or a single thing for Christmas. I’m so close to just fucking breaking right now

     @memphismary thank you so much! It’s such a nightmare, I’ve worked so hard this year and really felt like I made headway and then all it’s taken is a half dozen things going slightly wrong and I’m back to where I was last year. Thank you, I really appreciate the help xx

     Thank you to everyone who’s helped visiting my ko-fi.com page. I appreciate it more than I can put into words. This morning after I didn’t get paid (again) and after a month of not sleeping properly I just broke down. I love the people who follow me and help me keep this stuff up, thank you!

     Holy shit, I just saw my stripe account, thank you to everyone who helped out, I’ll be sending individual thank you messages later today. You’ve all helped me to cover my (already late) rent. Thank you!
