I am privately educated and he has a point. At my school we were repeatedly told that we could do anything, we could shape the world. It instilled firm self belief in us. Everyone deserves to have been given strong self belief at school. It is possible to have self belief AND self examine. Imposter syndrome perhaps is self examining without self belief. It's dangerous to have self belief without self examination - that's toddlers and shameless narcissists.

That's interesting to hear. In a public school we're taught to always doubt ourselves and that the [authority figure] always knows more or is better than you in some undefined way. Self belief and confidence is seen as shameful and arrogant. So public schools are full of kids with no self confidence (because puberty) being reinforced that they should always doubt themselves and praise authority, so they never grow up into strong adults. We were told that it doesn't matter what we do because the world will never change and how much can one person change the world. And when individuals that did change the world were brought up, it was always Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin. Always in the negative. Never Tesla, Einstein, Mozart, or Augustus. We were taught helplessness and shame. It explains a lot that privately educated people are seen as arrogant and self serving. Although I'm not sure many of them have the ability to self-reflect, that seems to be connected to intelligence rather than schooling.

I know this is meant in jest, but it comes across as particularly insightful. Impostors tend to not be afraid of being found out, because they think they've already fooled everyone, and are convinced they can keep doing it. The only people who fear losing their jobs are those who actually have something to prove. If you're afraid of getting something wrong, then you at least care about the work you do, which is more than can be said for those who couldn't give a crap, because it's just bragging rights to them.

Milo McCabe (Troy Hawke) is a qualified Psychotherapist. He studied at Liverpool University and uses his knowledge in his comedy.

Good heavens, this chap is damn smart, dastardly funny, and dashingly handsome to boot!

Glad to see this guy go from KZread to actual stand up, his videos always gave me a chuckle, and he’s a natural on the stage too

I love clever, witty, well-constructed humour.

I now went back and watched almost all his greeting videos. The guy is hilarious. It's criminal how underrated he's.

His delivery is impeccable! The part about Boris having to be dragged out with his fingernails still embedded in the door frame.. 🤣

He smashes it in front of every type of audience whether its working class Liverpool or a London TV audience like this. Also, I bet your blinkered view of comedy is only what you bother to see on TV. There's a thriving circuit of comics in Britain that for the most part push the artform and plenty that are faaaaaar from terrified of offending people. You've clearly never seen people like Freddie Quinne, Fin Taylor, Simon Wozniak, Adam Rowe, Jamie Hutchinson, Kane Brown etc. Saying that, whenever I see a comment like yours I do always wonder what is it you really like hearing jokes about and what words that offend 'the twitter outrage brigade' do you especially miss hearing comics say?

This will go down in my personal history as one of the best uses of 7 minutes ever! That was brilliant.

Love Troy what a legend 🤣🤣

GIVE THIS MAN A STANDING OVATION 😂 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

troy Hawke is an amazing comedian.. saw him live at a local charity event.. fantastic

The funniest & most ingenious comedy is that with truth running through it.

Caught him on Russell’s show a few days ago and went straight to KZread, sat and watched him for a couple of hr. Absolutely hilarious, shoulders back Troy and carry on.

What an amazing and refreshing style of delivery. I have been a big standup follower since the days when the comedy store was in it's old location, when the Biscuit Tin Circus was operating in west London (Lee Evans, Pub Landlord to name but a few.) But this guy was truly original and poignant. I wish him well, he was certainly a new style. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

I saw Milo McCabe at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2011, where he played Troy in one show. Lovely guy who deserves every success.

Your shot at the big time Mr Hawke and you absolutely nailed it! 👏👏👏 Nice one la. 👍

I didn't know what to make of Troy when i first saw him, Was he a posh boy ripping the lower classes, was he a lower class boy ripping posh toff's? What l learned is he's a really nice guy with a sharp mind, quick wit, and a bunch of great authentic characters that are comic gold yet lovingly represented. I have to say, Seeing him quick switch into his scouse characters at the Hot Water comedy club in Liverpool was the funniest routine I seen for years. Find his interview on youtube "The hilarious Troy Hawke and Darren Smith" to see what a really nice guy he is too.

Troy is a genius!

Damn, I needed that. Might make myself a poster of the most pertinent quotes. Might forget, of course, but here we are.

Troy Hawke is a revelation!

I have seen Troy live in my local Comedy Club - he's a scream! 👍

Anyone that has not seen this genius on The Greeters Guild, do so now. Jan Mowlby says so.

That's funny. I indeed took my own 'left' and now work in a hardware store in the Lake District. It's also much better than B&Q and my marking load has been cut by 100%. The pay isn't much, but I have a lot of fun. I loved teaching but I am now less of an imposter. Happy days. Power to you!

He has one of the sexiest voices ever. He could read the phone book to me.

As someone who's a trainee therapist I have massive imposter syndrome even though I try so hard to learn more things and be good to my clients. We all need to be kinder to ourselves and appreciate our efforts , intentions and knowledge is good enough

Absolutely LOVED this guy!

Really enjoyed this segment on the show, genuinly one of the funniest comedians that's been on it. I hope he tours as i will certainly go see him.

Worked for b&q and this is so so close to the truth.....fantastic sketch

Greeters guild for the win 🏆

Now that's a funny guy well done troy .and to you Russell. 😂🤣👍🍺

That is one of the best standup sets and one of the best bits of advice and wisdom I have ever seen. 🎉❤

Greeters Guild!

Is teacher. Can relate. Thanks for the advice. Will find a customers service job to crash tomorrow rather than go to work.

I remember being on the tube going towards Hampstead last week, and I overheard a girl of no more than 11 years old teliing her friend that when she grows up she wanted to start her own 'consultancy business' in the most self assured painfully posh Hampstead voice! The 33 year old me who grew up on a Leeds Council estate felt an imposter syndrome you couldnt describe, and yet hear was an 11 year old girl who seemed more self assured than most 35 year olds!

Great set Troy. Never seen you before but am sure (and hope) that I will see you again 😎

Imposter syndrome is just a humble brag way of saying “I have an amazing job.” Literally every keynote speech I’ve had to sit through from some highly successful person has always claimed they’ve felt it. They’re just saying it because they don’t want people to think they’re arrogant. It doesn’t work.

A bit of advice I remember about this that helps me a little. Just embrace it. "Look at these idiots! They have no idea that I've infiltrated this place, not an iota of knowledge that I don't deserve to be here! What a bunch of witless fools!" But that can easily go into the deep end without a bit of psychological mustard to keep you grounded.

I think it’s fair to say that the element of “upper class” characters that we all secretly admire is conversational eloquence……….. Troy has that in fecking bucket loads innit !🤣

This guy is brilliant! I love his voice!

Oh my word, that is one well-written routine. He's VERY good!

I love him Lol. His Tiktoks are absolutely brilliant

It’s true, I got to a good medical school from a really poor inner-city comp. The school always discouraged me and never gave me any awards and recognition for achievement. I never failed an exam or test below 96% upto gcse level and coasted into med school; first person for 9 years that did from that school. So I felt I didn’t belong at med school and when I saw others on the course full of confidence about their knowledge and understanding I thought I didn’t fit in. I eventually dropped out. Glad that I did now as I did graduate in comp sci from another uni and have been relatively successful.
