In 2015, Grace made her Edinburgh Festival debut at the age of twelve making her the youngest stand-up comic. With her wise-cracking one-line gags and anarchic humour she sold out her performances on a customised double-decker bus. She also told a joke which was listed by TV-channel Dave as one of the ten funniest jokes on the Fringe.<\/p>\n
Grace\u2019s joke \u2013 \u201cThey\u2019re always telling me to live my dreams. But I don\u2019t want to be naked in an exam I haven\u2019t revised for.\u201d<\/p>\n
The dream Grace describes is probably one when she is asleep and where it is difficult to escape. And the power of this joke rings bells for a great many people who have a fear of embarrassing themselves in public. Dreams we have during the day are sometimes a little more controllable in that we can \u2018snap-out\u2019 of negative thoughts if we try hard enough. However, although people often consider that daydreams are about a positive future they can also belong to the flip-side which is about fear or worry.<\/p>\n
Mentally exploring both positive and negative things which might happen enables us to prepare and take advantage of good opportunities and possibly avoid negative situations.<\/p>\n
Grace retired after her performances in 2015, but in 2016 she returned for her show \u2013 Grace the Former Child: Party Politics. It is perhaps the world\u2019s youngest comeback tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
