Ah, you're too kind! I used to do improv back in my student days, and it honestly felt like that again. Sophie set me up for so many jokes, like the bit about my Gengar hoodie thing was all him, I didn't script that, or any of the interactions with him beyond asking him to sign the picture. If he weren't an alleged nonce, I would have him in an improv troupe with me in a heartbeat.

The audience was mostly daft, probably autistic, late teens/early 20s into alt-fashion stuff: they really reminded me of myself at their age and were genuinely quite sweet. I liked singing "manamana" with them all. They had this idea of TERFs as the big bad, and Sophie played that up a lot. Every time someone went upstairs to buy a coffee (this was in a tiny basement underneath a café, so his comments about the venue being packed out are pretty funny, technically true but there were like 10 or 12 of us) he'd ask if there were any TERFs outside protesting and pretend to be scared.

There were a couple of middle-aged AGPs who lurked silently, and a sole Black Pamper in a mask and hood who kept talking about how he could totally beat up any TERFs, and a neckbearded goon who had an honest-to-god umbrella sword, which was more of a cosplay prop than anything. So mostly nice if misguided people, and a couple of real creeps, including the speaker.

The whole channel is me taking the piss out of the gender wars, if you fancy a laugh I'm told I'm reliably hit-and-miss ;) Regular readers will know what I'm parodying in each one, so. I started it as a Dylan Mulvaney parody but it's kind of grown legs, and I thought I'd run out of material around day 10, but there keeps being more and more coming out and hardly anyone making fun of it, so "Chad" keeps going.

Well I think Chad deserves some sort of award! Brilliant work! ;-)

Channel 4 owes me an award for my piano routine on day 44, but they never called me :(

I apologise to Are Graham for days 21 and 43, and probably others. "Chad" is a TRA so "he" is not very nice about anybody who isn't.

edit: oh shit, and 40, I forgot about that one lmao

I don't apologise to Owen Jones, Jordan Grey, PhilosophyTube, Hbomberguy, Dylan Mulvaney, Sidhbh Gallagher, Jeffery Marsh, Joe Biden etc etc though, they all deserve to be mocked

You know I think that's how I blended in so well, I would've been one of these kids if I'd been born 15 years later. MANAMANA
