The Laughing Horse is one of London’s most established comedy clubs, bringing comedy to venues across London and the UK for 10 years. With an intimate and friendly atmosphere, and a mixture of top professional acts, newer acts, regular comperes and everything in between...

Worst day so far

I seem to buckle quite under pressure, but it's a slow process that takes ages and ages before I eventually scurry back to my pad and play the Xbox...my evidential escape from the pressures of living.

My momentary, and temporary, suicide.

But yesterday was far worse when I took what someone said over what I suggested to be far more damaging to my career than anything so far, not to mention the ever-growing loneliness at work (I hardly jabber with anyone now except for my senior, who is lovely and gives me the time of day, but for how long), while I've not been working hard enough at comedy and suddenly dying drastically at Al Cowie's Llaugh (where I was supposed to compere, Al didn't remember I was even on the bill and I just didn't remind him of my role there due to my day, and dulefully died a 2 minute death)

So I've stopped caring...I've stopped caring whether I get shouted out and "explained at" once more, while livng indifferently to what I consider "audience people I don't like".

A.k.a. I'm turning unprofessional.

My blurb

With no one to blame but himself, chirpy foreigner Nelson de Gouveia hit the comedy circuit late in 2008 and has become quietly known as a solid little opener that sets a good mood for the entire night he plays in.

Born in Venezuela to a native Portuguese family, grew up in South Africa and living in London for 10 years, the currently-employed videogames producer lives with his girlfriend in Hackney and performs frequently for small open-mic venues all over the city, places his apparent arrogance on the table and persuades the audience that some socially inadequate men with an accent better that most English-speakers, can make a room full of people laugh.

Currently his main aim is to break the world record for "The Most Performed Joke With a Reaction Regardless of Gag Quality" with his pre-teen written quip, "The Wizard Joke".

Nelson has previously brought the giggles to venues such as the Comedy Store, the Comedy Cafe, Laughing Horse, Bathhouse Comedy, Downstair's at the King's Head, 5 Minutes of Fame, Open Mic @ the Miller, Foolhardy Comedy, Jester Jesters, Comedy at the College, Tuesday Night at Torriano's, the William IV, Rub Your Face In It, Laughing Jaabs, Rubber Chicken, Party Piece, Comedy Bin, Victoria's Secret, East Meets Jest, Pear-Shaped Comedy, the Lion's Den, Desperately Seeking Stagetime, Electric Mouse and various others.
