We're in France no smoking fuck off
Bonjour dickheads
welcome to another episode of the vlog
if you're new around the vlog then hello my
name is Paul I'm a comedian in Paris
this vlog is the behind-the-scenes of my
life as a comedian in Paris and today is
a proper behind the scenes of of being a
comedian it's early it's 818 a.m. and
today is day 1 of filming for a TV show
that I'm gonna be a part of I think
starting November or something so we're
going to go to the studios we're going
to film there and I'm also going to talk
to you about the thing I hate the most
about my job let's go to the studio so
I've already found one negative thing to
my electric scooter system thing that I
thought was amazing
is that right now it's raining and I
don't have the proper equipment so I had
to get an uber here because I was
running late
so I'm currently here at the studios to
film part of the new TV show I talked
about it in a vlog a couple of a couple
of weeks ago a couple of oh whatever few
vlogs back so that is what I'm doing for
the next four days five days four days
for four days essentially at this studio
I'll be here every day filming different
sections so we'll see how that goes
lunch time so I'm about to head off to
lunch I'll tell you afterwards what I
hate about my job but so far it's been
good I've just been reading out words
which has been cool I'll explain all of
this after lunch I need to go for lunch
it's French times we have to go for
lunch
alright see you in a bit alright back from
lunch and yes so let's get in to the the
meat of the topic today is what I hate
doing as a comedian one of the the worse
things about the one the thing I
hate about my job is the writing the
writing part of the job is for me the
hardest and they're just the most
annoying I hate it I really hate writing
jokes trying to be funny on paper it
just there's not I've got I just hate it
and I know as a comedian you're you know
you're supposed to like the process of
writing your own jokes I mean that you
have to write your own jokes
I mean unless you're a French comedian
in which case you can just steal other
people's jokes or like other comedians
that I know that are well-known they
have their own sort of team of writers
that help do their stand-up shows thing
that I'm doing here essentially I had to
write thirty minutes of jokes thirty
minutes of content and so for the past
three days all I've been doing is
sitting down and typing out
word-for-word
the text I'm gonna say and that's the
part that I hate I just hate having to
write jokes and texts out loud I just
prefer kind of having the general idea
in improvising on stage because
essentially that's what I do when I do
my stand-up shows because what I do for
my stand-up shows I've never written my
stand-up show the one that I've been
doing for the last three years #Franglais I've never written it
down I it's never been written down
word-for-word I just have the kind of
main thing
the main ideas there and I'm just like
riffing and I just take them on stage
and then make them better and the jokes
come out of the stuff that comes onstage
I know what I'm gonna say but I just
I've never written it word for word and
obviously when you're working for a TV
you have to send in like the full script
because you know they need to validate
it and make sure you're not gonna you
know be inappropriate or things like
that so I just I just hate that process
the other thing this weekend has been a
nightmare cause I've had to write this
30 minutes of jokes for this TV show
I've had to write the intro for my
documentary series which we're filming
in Sweden next week so writing that
script and also I've got to write a best
man speech because one of my best
friends is getting married this weekend
so I'm going back to England and I've
got to write a funny speech for his
wedding so it's a I hate it so that's
the worst part for me about being a
comedian I'd love to hear from you guys
what jobs do you do what are the worst
things that you have the things that you
hate about your jobs leave it in the
comments below and love to find out so
right now I'm back to work back to
filming some of the stuff so I'll put
the camera down you'll see some time
lapses some fun shots of of me at work
Haha, we're in France, no smoking? Fuck off!
There you go!
Ok, great. Cut!
And that's a wrap.
End of ze day!
Well thank you guys, it was cool.
that's it that's the end of the day to
day day 1 of filming which went very
well the last shot took ages the last
shot took an hour and a half because the
lighting was weird my glasses were
reflecting stuff in the reflection so
they were trying to figure out the two
boards that were reflecting either side
of me in that previous shot but we're
done that's it it's good it's time to go
home and get some dinner oh and before I
forget you know I said I was gonna get
fit and stuff like that I'm not quite
yet fit enough I'm still looking like a
fat bastard
but I'm still doing the training so so
good luck with that one anyway thanks
for watching this episode of the vlog
and I'll see you very soon for another
episode and that's it bisous bye
