Sketch actually changed my life for the better. I wandered into the wrong meeting for first year and just by pure chance, I enjoyed the meeting where we were acting out some sketches, and all of a sudden, I was hooked on it. Over time I would get more involved firstly with writing, and then with acting and tech roles for our shows, culminating most recently in a trip to Edinburgh to perform at the Fringe Festival.
Prior to joining the Cheese Graters, I had no acting experience, very little writing experience, and was a complete newbie to comedy. I would not say I am good now as there is still a lot to learn, but I do credit this society for assisting with my personal development, and now I wish to make the next step further by taking charge, reaching out and introducing more people to sketch.
I would love to firstly keep up the good work that our society has been putting out. Additionally, I aspire to help sketch gain more recognition from the SU through at least an award nomination at the end of the year. This would be achieved through more high quality shows, opening Sketch meetings to more people, having sessions that are focused on developing certain abilities, and forming good relationships with other societies that can also collaborate with us in the future.
