Making Funnies

{Green Room at the Comedy Store}

New thoughts on StandUp Comedy:

• There are not enough girls.  This is good because I don't feel a lot of competition, it's bad because GIRLS ARE FUNNY.  I will say this,  I have encountered a lesser percentage of funny female comics than the other.  Which is a bummer.
• There are not enough non-white people.  Funny minority comics are usually great, by my experience.  Make more of them famous, America.
• Male comics will hit on anything.  Hiring security is not ridiculous.
• There is so much politics and unspoken 'manners' about even this part of the industry, it's insane.  For a talent borne of dorks and the unaccepted, could be ease up on the ego? Garsh.  shut up. 
• I've really been having fun with the character part.  I usually dress super girly and childish, just so people can laugh harder when I talk about sex and poop.  Juxtaposition, guys.  
• It's not scary.  In fact, it's the least scary out of the mixed bag of auditioning, improv, and comedy.  Think about it, guys.  You get handed a mic, a stage, a spotlight, and a captive audience.  It's all laid out for you.  Magic.  
• New year, new comedy.  I've been working on some new stuff; can't wait to get up and try it out.  Eek!
