Rachel Parris is one of my top favourite comedians.
Really underrated comedian imo.
Excellent set and her on stage presence/ mannerisms fantastic 👏👏
That moment when you can distinctly hear Nish Kumar's laugh in the audience...
I feel like it'd be good for kids to hear this somehow. Especially the ones who don't know what they want to do or be, but are expected to have a very solid idea of the future and what they want to do and even have a plan to get there.
Hilarious and solid advice.
Definitely, if I hadn’t kept my eyes open to other possibilities I’d be an incredibly disappointed adult still hoping that one day I could still become a mermaid! 🧜🏼♀️✨
Indeed, for if I had been so fixated on pouring a hot cup of Clotted Cornish Cream Tea "with" Terry Wogan, I may never have met Leighton at the Berkeley Hotel that one fateful night when he happened to have just returned from Harrods with a brand new "Rain-Hat" in tow, leading to what has now become a DeChienne tradition: "midnight meetings for Cornish Cream Tea with a Rain-Hat."

There are people who dress as mermaids for parties and have tails that function underwater. Perhaps you could give it a go?
(Yes, I know I've missed the point of the talk)
This lady is AMAZING!! I hope she gets on Taskmaster soon.
I wanted to play Mrs Dolly Levi in Hello! Dolly when I was a child. I did it last year in a critically panned community theatre production and I couldn't have been happier. but no one else was. Rachel Parris is right, sometimes your childhood dreams are stupid. And sometimes you achieve them against all odds anyway and everyone really wishes you hadn't.
what an incredible talent; must share across AUSTRALIA
Being a comedian WAS my childhood dream lol.
I achieved a few of my childhood dreams. Not the ones where I wanted to be a figure skater or drive a bulldozer. Those were nothing compared to wanting to be an archaeologist. Which I am, technically. Haven't excavated in years, but I have a masters degree in my chosen branch of the field. The biggest part of my childhood dream was to excavate at the site that inspired me, at age 5, to want to be an archaeologist when I grew up. 24 years later, I did!
Good for you , go do some digging now, we need more narcissist and egoists
@@spankyoulater Why in earth would you think that this is narcissistic or egotistical ??
When I grew up I wanted to be a spy. And then, for a while, a stunt woman. Then I realized Hollywood brainwashed me, and that I can be a part of those super cool action worlds without threat to my life and safety and years of rigorous training. Or skills. So I decided to instead try to brainwash other impressionable kids by becoming a filmmaker. Still studying, but just you wait.
I've only just recently heard of her after seeing her host the show 'Late Night Mash'.
I think she is very witty.
Rachel's the best! I've met her twice and she's incredibly warm underneath that biting wit too!
It's actually good advice!
This was surprisingly inspiring! Thank you ma'am. ☺️🙏
Starlight express, answer me yes !
Great message!
Brilliant 👌
So awesome!
If you didn't know already, all three series of this can be streamed for FREE over on UKTV Play! uktvplay.co.uk/shows/comedians-giving-lectures/watch-online
@@UAndDave I've been to uktvplay and I can't view it from Canada :(
I keep meaning to get a VPN but there are so many to choose from that I just don't.
Thanks for the tip though!
I have one relative who, at aged 2 years, wanted to be the muffin man - she's now a dietitian. I have another relative who, at aged 4 years, drew many planes, and wanted to be 'a pikelet' when he grew up- he's soon to be captain of a major airline. So, some dreams do come true. :)
Pikelet definition: a small thick round pancake; thin crumpet; or pilot, depending upon your perspective.
Never heard of her. Want to see her more. She is good.
haha..those shoes!!!!
I had a dream of becoming a game designer when I was young, and at the time it was all based on joing the video game industry. Now with the wisdom that the videogame industry chews up talent and spits it out without compensation, benefits nor any awareness for humanity in the sake of solid 6/10 unremarkable "Experiences" built for forgetfulness, I accept that I've reached my dream in the form of organising games for my nieces, nephews, brothers and sisters and I am far better for it.
Lol. Especially funny as I just started doing the job I chose when I was about 3, and it is objectively a cool job (provided you don't work in the field and actually understand the day to day processes).
I wanted to be a cat
You are not the person you were as a kid is the most positive advice to give to anyone ! Don't be a victim or a prisoner of your childhood, let it go.
:40
I didn't hear a word she said at the end. I was just waiting to see if she was going to fall off that stage 😬
"[sic] never have to worry about mortgage rates" Cos they'll never afford to buy a house. Ouch
I suppose being a comedian was her childhood dream growing up in Leicestershire.
Only know her from an interview with Rob Brydon, seems lovely, & is probably funny, just not here .
I guess that this show was called this because 'So called Comedians giving lectures like always, even though nobody cares' is just a little bit too long.
Turns out that British big balls 57 was right all along.
I think Micky Flanagan wanted to be as funny as his gran, he is, this lady isn't.
I wonder how many people laughed at your comment, compared to how many laughed at the video?
@@mattsadventureswithart5764 I wonder how many people think my profession is comedian when it isn't? Think FIRST type afterwards
@@nigelbenn4642
That was a desperate response to Matt. I can guarantee you , nobody thinks you're remotely a comedian.
Rachel Parris, on the other hand, is.
You really are a Nigel.

I bet you were awful.”
