I live in New York. I am a stand up comic, writer and actor. You may have seen my writing on many reputable websites (The Huffington Post, Hello Giggles, xojane.com, The Hairpin, Splitsider, The FW, etc.). I also write crazy blogs about Game of Thrones, Magneto and Jeff Goldblum. I was formerly member of the PITtv House Team, Codswallop.

I also encourage young comics to treat standup comedy like a real job, and to invest the same hours into it that they would invest in anything they wanted to become good at. It’s almost like you have to pretend you have a boss when you don’t. And that boss is an asshole.

It’s so true. It’s also weird because my (strangely) supportive Mom seems to get this. I’ll tell her how busy or tired I am, and her response is always, “Well, of course. You’re working two full-time jobs.” It’s a living…that requires another living.
I’d like to add some beauty to life,” said Anne dreamily. “I don’t exactly want to make people KNOW more…though I know that IS the noblest ambition…but I’d love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me…to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn’t been born.

The next time anyone asks me to define my stage persona, describe my world view or explain why I am the way I am as a person, I’m just going to point them to this long list of L. M. Montgomery quotes. She pretty much covers everything.
