Vol.
32: Stand Up Drama.
 Madame JoJo's in Soho's Brewer Street is the venue for London Bites, a new monthly "stand up drama" event in which a number of actors, either invited or coming as a result of auditions, get five minutes on stage to perform in front of an audience which has paid good money to get in.
The aim is to give new and established actors an opportunity to experiment with new writing or perform to invited agents/casting directors.
And I was inspired. in fact I might try and get an item on stage as soon as possible. There was a great feeling in the venue and an atmosphere of encouragement rather than competition.
 While we were there we interviewed the director Melissa Leigh, all the actors taking part and featured Jason Wing (left) who was performing a piece he had been working on for some months.
Stand up for your rights!
