If You're Gonna Spend Weeks Doing Something, You Might As Well Show Off At The End

Hello.

In 2011 I wrote a couple of papers for University. One was about the way British newspapers write about stand-up comedy, and the other one was about the usefullness of the term "cultural industries" when thinking about comedy practitioners at the Edinburgh Fringe. I've wanted to do something with these two essays for a while, cause they're quite long, and I think they're quite good.

I haven't got round to it really, so here they are if you're interested.
