As part of the festival, BBC Hereford & Worcester and BBC Upload put on two stages, one on Friday at the Old Cock Inn, and one on Saturday in Droitwich High Street. <\/p>\n
All the performers were chosen after sending their work to BBC Upload and have links to the West Midlands.<\/p>\n
Rachel Longmore, from Wolverhampton, said becoming a comedian had been a “temporary insanity” that she had carried on ever since.<\/p>\n
“It’s taken me all over the country, to some of the most random places, and I’ve also gone to Ireland and Paris, and I’m hoping to go more,” she told the BBC.<\/p>\n
“Being a Midlands girl you think I never would have got to see these places otherwise.”<\/p>\n
Longmore never writes her jokes down, which she jokingly compares to Jay-Z, saying “they just pop into my head” and she hopes she remembers them.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the festival, Longmore said: “I really enjoyed it, lovely day, lovely crowd – people were laughing so that’s something.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As part of the festival, BBC Hereford & Worcester and BBC Upload put on two stages, one on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":612303,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-612302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=612302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/612302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/612303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=612302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=612302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=612302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
