There are lots of reasons that comedians decide on having our unpredictable, financially unstable and socially inactive life. Mostly it’s down to being driven by an innate – albeit odd – need to get onstage and make people laugh.
Whatever your motivations, the challenge is the same: to earn enough money to carry on doing what you love while getting on with your life. I’ve got a 5-month-old baby so, for me, it’s supporting my wonderful wife and providing for our family.

New research from Yoopies, one of Europe’s biggest online care platforms, reveals the true effect that the government’s 30 hours free childcare scheme has had on hourly childcare costs.
Whilst the scheme has been purse friendly for parents with offspring in funded preschool or nursery places, families using in-home care – such as nannies – have not been so well off.  Prices hiked by 4.1 percent in the last year alone, increasing from £8.16 in 2017 to £8.50 in 2018.
This cost jump makes a huge difference to the bank balances of …

Your virtual office in the UK has given you the reach you need to work in this competitive market while making it possible to afford locations in the trendy, older West London neighbourhood. Instead of managing an online business, you find yourself struggling with staying on top of work while trying to create an organised business structure.
