I didn't suck last night!
In fact, the consensus seems to be I did pretty well. Whoa!

Schtick or Treat - 10/27
I just found out that I am indeed performing at Schtick or Treat. Which means I have three days to put together an Eddie Izzard impression I thought I didn’t have to do.
My game plan? Figuring out which bit to do tonight & transcribing it for memorization. Tomorrow I will have to buy a mandarin collared shirt, pleather pants, platform shoes and a blonde man wig after work and before my...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone please erase this week’s SNL digital short from existence? The popular teenaged girl who is a paraplegic who speaks through a computerized vocoder is the main game in a sketch I wrote a year and a half ago. Now I can’t ever submit it in a sketch packet again because people will think I ripped it off from SNL. NOOOO!!!!
You guys, it was one of my best sketches and now it...

That was unexpected.
I just lost one of my earrings. How? I was in the ladies room and it fell out of my ear and landed in the toilet as it was flushing. I’m serious.
And it was one of my nicest pairs, too.
EDIT: I actually think this is hilarious. In that “dark” kind of way.

Thoughts is Napoleon | Overthinking It →
My good friend, Perich, dissects Kanye West’s “Power”, placing particular emphasis on how the SNL performance affects and informs the song’s meaning. It’s brilliant. Read it!

"I'm not going to die alone; I'm going to die...
Next time I get those silly “I’m so lonely and bet I’m going to die without ever knowing love” blues, I’m just going to repeat this to myself until I remember it’s true.

I really need a win.
I’ve been fighting a sudden shock of depression, loneliness and self-loathing for the past 19 hours. I think I’m starting to get the upper hand, but it’s hard. At least I wrote the rough draft to my sketch this morning?? And it’s not as bad as I thought it would be??
No, let’s focus on that. It actually has potential. Also, being productive is the best way for me to...

Goofing around
Last night I finally had a decent set at Motel Luca. That mic always induces a minor panic attack in me for some reason. Last night, though, when I told a more experienced comic that I was really nervous, he shrugged and said, “Just get up there and goof around.” Well, it worked.
It’s kind of frustrating that I keep having to relearn the same lesson in comedy: have fun. It seems...

More disappointing than the prospect of ditching Dr. Faye.
I saw this today and my immediate response was to eat more food. Someone has to bring up the juicy rear of feminism.

I'm the comedy writer who can't write for men.
Unless they are gay. Seriously.
I’m “supposed” to write a father and son sketch by Friday, but I can’t get inspired. Any time I’ve tried to write male-dominated sketches they suck. I just don’t know how men talk or what they could do that would possibly be funny. So, I gender switched it to a mother and daughter team and now I’m kind of giddy with the...

Are there any comedy clubs in Idaho?
Because it looks like there was one, and then it was shut down, and then they opened another one that might be shut down. So, now I have to ask myself: Are there any open mics? Can I do five minutes of George Orwell jokes at a poetry slam? Are there poetry slams in Idaho?? Is there going to be any way for me to practice stand up while I visit my mom for a whole week and a half? Or will I actually...

Hey Jimmy Fallon fans!
A friend of mine from the NYC comedy scene, Nick Vatterott, is tonight’s comic. He is super funny and original and I’m sure you’ll love him! So please support if you weren’t already going to do so!

It's still going well.
lafiebre said: Hope it gets better soon
Aw, thanks. As bummed as I am that my shows have been canceled or didn’t pan out, I’m not too torn up about it. Like I said, it’s not a reflection on me as a comic so I just have to take it in stride. I’m in my first year of doing stand up comedy and I’m doing it in New York. I can’t expect any bookings or gigs right...
