Usually I get the comedic part, and so I had made a conscious decision to go for more serious roles as an actor, and when coming to Solo I thought I would try and go into a more experimental and less comedic caricature. but with some of the ideas I have had, it is obvious that comedy would be the only way forward, to be about to leave an effect on the audience, but I also want it to be more than just funny so I now need to look at performances and maybe write things that could be a split between funny yet sincere. What I do know is that I am not really interested in playing a character.

This is when I think that Adrian Howell is someone for me to look at. Although I’m not entirely convinced by what he calls performance, I find it a bit contrived, I do however like the idea of having a persona, some one who is him but doesn’t look like him.

So this persona I would create will be the basics of me, or how I perceive myself in personality, and how I am perceived by others in the way I look on stage.
