Raw Comedy Launceston Winner!

Well last night Ryan entered into the Raw Comedy Competition in Launceston. He was really nervouse and what made it worse for him was that he was first up for the night! We thought the competition started at 7.30 so we got their at 7 to find out that the competition started at 8pm. So we had to sit around for a while which I think made Ryan more worried about performing! We decided to grab a bite to eat which I must say was a really good affordable meal that tasted really good. So after hanging around the competition started. The host for the night was Gavin and he was a competitor in Hobart about 3 years ago and won a spot to go to Melb to perform at the national final. He didn't win but he has started in a career and now gets gigs around the place. So after about 15 minutes he introduced Ryan. I must say that I laughed pretty hard as I wasn't suer what material he was going to use. He used some very funny stories and the worse thing was they were ones that we had done together. To find out more you will need to come to Hobart next Thursday to the Uni bar where he will be performing again in the Hobart heats and to hopefully win a spot to perform in Melb. What will happen in Hobart is they will be recording the performers and then they will send it to be judged in Melb. and they will choose the winners. Their is also a chance to have bits of the performance shown or aired on TV or radio, which is why they ask it to be kept PG rated.
After his first performance for the night he went back on for a second time as they had to fill in time till 10 before another guy turned up. I thought he was brave going up a second time as by the time he went up the second time the crowd were rather drunk and they were a little rowdy. He did well but it was a lot harder the second time for him.
Some of the photos of our funny man!
This is before while we were waiting and Ryan kept pacing back and forward, he was so nervouse!
Waiting, looking worried.
No more photos please!
