00:00Hello everyone, it's Jon Richardson here, just thought I'd give you a little update, I don't really do social media updates, and I'll tell you why, because I don't think anyone cares, but I have a little bit of news, I've obviously been taking a little bit of a break from stand-up, and it's really made me want to carry on taking a break from stand-up.
00:18I've been thinking a lot about a diary entry that I found from 1997, it's this one, should hopefully be on screen now, I'm 14 years old, it says although I would love to be a stand-up comedian, I'll probably end up being a teacher.
00:34I've been thinking a lot about that, I'd love to be a comedian, it was absolutely the right choice, but I've decided it would have been nice to try the other option, so that's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:44I've been doing some training, I've taken a teaching position, I will update you as and when I can, but that's all from me for now, just letting you know that's where I've been, I'll keep you posted, bye.
