Personal branding 2

April 13, 2009  /  Stewart McCure

An interesting side-effect of the success of the improv show is that it possibly calls into question the quality of my stand-up comedy.

By almost any measure I am an experienced performer and director of improv whereas my stand-up career has been short and not especially auspicious. By pursuing both projects (and many others besides) I know that I'm exposing my personal brand to jibes like: -

For a stand-up comic he makes a terrific theatre director...
Yet to take such criticism to heart is to invite paralysis. Anyone who wants to lead a multidimensional life has to ignore David Ricardo.
