Finding Nico: Back on the road baby!

Welcome to Finding Nico.

The podcast where you follow me, comedy writer Nico Tatarowicz, trying to figure out who I am and what my purpose is in this crazy, unpredictable era of shifting tides, wonky career paths and general madness.

-------------------

Hello there sods

So after dragging my patreon subscribers through a pretty tough mental health moment with me a couple of weeks ago, I have been trying to piece myself together and get podding in the wild again after a very tough winter.

Tbh I was not quite sure where the ole Finding Nico spirit was going to start to flourish again, but then the time came for me to jump in Linda and head down to Tavistock in Devon, and then Southampton for double-gig weekender supporting Oasis Supernova.

It's the third time I have done this pilgrimage and as soon as I set off my nervous system knew we were doing something we knew we were going to enjoy. Which is pretty good stuff after weeks of rumination or anxiety. As you will hear my winter of discontent began to fall away and then the gigs themselves were a powerful reminder of what it feels like to be the proper you, doing something you love and reminding you you have stuff in your locker to be proud of. 1865 club in Southampton now holds two very special memories for me and has given me a thirst for many more musical experiences. Something my brain was not capable of just a few short weeks ago.

Thank you all for your patience with me the last few months. There's life in the old dog yet.

Enjoy the episode
