EP45 - Adam Bloom

Adam Bloom has been performing stand up for 23 years. He's sold out Edinburgh Fringe runs, he's appeared on TV, he's written for other comedians and is a regular on the corporate circuit. He's done it all and in this podcast we attempt to get to the bottom of how you can do it all as well!

I got him on the podcast to talk about...

 

His thoughts on social media and how he uses it How he sold out all of his Edinburgh Fringe runs. Why he’s not been back to Edinburgh for over 5 years. His thoughts on Free vs Paid Fringe. How long did it take him to become a full time comedian and can what he did be done now? Advice on getting and storming corporate gigs. Why he actually likes corporate gigs more than clubs. Can he make a living from the live circuit alone? His opinions on TV panel shows and why he’s not on them any more.

 

AND MORE!

This podcast would be useful to anyone who wants to go full time as a performer and wants to know what the reality of that is like but also performers who want to get into other areas of the business such as writing for other acts or doing corporate gigs.

My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book - 

The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.

The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.

If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.

If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.
