| 6/8/26 | ![]() Streets Won't Forget - Richard Stott | “Everybody says that the best person to flyer your show is yourself. And that's true apart from when it's me. I'm really bad at flyering. I'm someone who wears their emotions on their sleeve quite a lot, people can tell that I'm not enjoying myself when I'm flyering. When you're trying to get yourself in the mindset for a show and be positive, there are better ways to prep for that than being rejected 150 times by people saying, are you funny though? Are you funny? We'll come if you are”Latest episode is with comedian Richard Stott.Richard is currently preparing for the Edinburgh Fringe where he is performing his show ‘Streets won’t forget’, we talk about nightmare reviews, bad flyering experiences and a lot of good experiences too such as reaching the final of the UK pun championship.We also talk about how his day job and comedy experience combine creating social media content for organisations.Website: https://www.textualhealing.co.uk/richard-stott-thpr-2026 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_rstott Fringe Tickets: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/richard-stott-streets-won-t-forget Episode Image: Andy Heathcote https://www.instagram.com/andyheathcote/ Find More about ‘Making Creativity Pay’Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makingcreativitypay/ Making Creativity Pay Newsletter: https://makingcreativitypay.substack.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danjbarnett/ | — | ||||||
