horselizardjust discovered i'm one degree of separation away from jacaster! which is nice. (twitter records show that someone i vaguely knew from improv at uni was friendly with him in 2012, likely from gigging the same circuits. this is what you get when the hot new generation of comedians are actually roughly your age!)
my Barrie Number is still probably lower than my Acaster Number though, i.e. i have, improbably, performed with someone who once performed with chris barrie (my other great love and basically the reason jacaster came to my attention in the first place, bc he sorta looks like him :P), giving me a Barrie Number of 1. i don't think i ever actually shared the stage with Person From Improv (maaaybe i did once?? can't remember? if i did we probably bombed because i doubt we would have gelled :P they mostly mc'd anyway), and at any rate i have no evidence that Person From Improv has performed with jacaster, just that they know him through Also Being A Comedian.
still, not bad, considering that by definition, actors share stages with tons and tons and tons of people, and comedians rarely share stages with anybody (idk if we count being on the same bill for [Comedian] Numbers) :P
i performed at edinburgh for one week every year between 2007 and 2012, inclusive, and i have no memory whatsoever of hearing about jacaster or seeing his posters or being flyered by him or anything, and it absolutely yanks my chain knowing we odds-on passed in the goddamn street or something and ten years later that would have meant something to me :P
