Favourite “at work” memory | It was at a competition. I made a drink about Marla Singer (Fight Club). I did all my story telling in improvisation and finished by « and this is Marla, the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you could stop tonguing it, but you can’t ». Everyone applauded and the bar manager put Where is my mind, Pixies, the song of the movie. I was the last competitor and we ended the competition like this. I thought I was born for this moment.
