“I love acting, I really do, I've always loved doing it, and it's a joy...” — Mel Giedroyc Quote

The thing is when you're... well-enough known, you get asked to speak places, and they don't really think about whether or not you're qualified. They just want somebody that will be a drawing card for the audience. So it's up to you to decide whether or not it's foolish to get up and speak to these people.
