Pottering around Facebook, as I do, I came across this comic strip that a very good friend of mine has created, about... ME!! LOL Check it out and feel free to comment.
If you'd like to sponsor my participation in the Adidas 5k Challenge, taking place this Sunday 5th September, please use link: http://www.justgiving.com/ComfortakaSidel
I hope you're good and life is treating you well, but that you're treating yourself even better!
Okay, so a few months ago, I announced that I'd be taking a break from performing for a while, whilst I sorted a few things out and tried to get myself back on track. Well, I have sorted a few things out, messed up a few others, half written some new material, thrown away both old and new material, been to a lot of poetry events, seen a lot of talented artists, co-run Rum Punch and Poetry in the Park with my Partna in Rhyme, Saran Green, as well as devise a plan for a new event (shhhh, it's still a secret), painted the town Pink and Black with the ONiT! logo and decided to hit the performance stage again with a vengeance!
What ARE you on about? I hear you ask... Well, I'm blogging to let you know that I'll be back on the performance circuit as of October 2010. I had a semi-decent break (doesn't feel like it was a break, but hey!) and now I'm good to go!
I can excitedly tell you, that I've agreed to do CLOSE UP with Comfort - Art without Apology, which I am ULTRA nervous about, even though it's not until 10th November!! MANDiNKA, you have a lot to answer for! LOL If you've never been to a CLOSE UP before, it's a live showcase, with band, featuring a main artist - almost like a mini concert - supported by a selection of additional artists. Please save the date... I have a surprise in store (which I can't tell you about yet) - you'll be glad you did!
Tonight, we have the return of Rum Punch, the monthly invigorating blend of entertainment, at Rudys Revenge, which I'm really, really excited about, and on Sunday, I'll be taking part in the 5k Adidas Challenge. All people keep asking me is "How's the training going?" to which I stare back at them, with a vacant expression... I'm hoping it's been a rhetorical question! LOL
Also in the exciting (Black History) month of October, I shall be participating in some very interesting events that I'm simply honoured to be able to be part of.... watch this space!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Last week, I was filmed by Wize Entertainment for a new feature called Poet's Lounge - check out the video:
Well, that's all for now... I'm broken! Off to bed so I can make sure I can get up for work in the morning.
Comfort, the unabashed Spoken Word Artist, isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Aptly dubbed ‘Art without Apology’, Comfort offers thought provoking, but entertaining lyricism, peppered with her no nonsense take on modern life and relationships.
The expressive and engaging Writer of both erotic and general fiction, made her transition from written to Spoken Word in 2007 when she hit the live performance scene with a zest that has seen her perform at some of London’s premier events as well as having her signature piece ‘Unsatisfied’, published by men’s lifestyle magazine ‘Juice’ in 2008 and winning the Word 4 Word Summer Slam in 2009.
As a result of her experiences, joys, frustrations and vision to create something meaningful, Sidel 'Comfort' Stewart founded ONiT! PR, a multi-disciplinary agency, dedicated to raising the profile of performance art in London and the surrounding areas. The company supports independent performance artists by way of Booking Management, PR and Media Relations and also supports Event Programmers and Promoters seeking artists to grace their stages, classrooms and anything in between, not to mention PR and Promotion campaigns to publicise their live events.
