Coma Over


So I'm awake... um, it has been quite some time since my last entry, but to be honest, I didn't think I should waste your time with frivolous and trivial bits of information about my life. Frankly, my life has been a bit boring the last few months, and I didn't think you really wanted to know about my Media Law class, what I think about LOST, or any lame inside jokes I might have with colleagues or friends (I hate LOST)... (and yes, I have colleagues)

However...

I'M BACK WITH NEW FUN THINGS STIMULATING MY MIND GRAPES!

First off, I'm dusting off my comedy cob webs, and I am proud to announce a new show at the Somerville Theater as part of the Awkward Compliment Comedy Showcase.

This is what they look like...

They're black and white with only bits of color saturation...

Here's the kicker... those who read this, most likely know that my background is in the improv, Thursday night, however, I will be performing STAND UP! gasp gasp gasp... alright calm down.

I performed stand up once before as part of my old improv group Seriously Bent's "Eat My Improv" festival, and I was proud of it, and it was "successful", but it was in front of my peers and family and friends. This week, I don't really know what to expect... granted I invited a lot of people I know, so I plan to have some familiar faces in the audience, but AC has been doing this show for the better part of a year now, and they get random walk-ins! That means, people with no prior knowledge as to who I am, or what I have done... might come to see this show.

AAAAaaaaaAAAaAAAAaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhHHHHHHHh (gulp)

Those eggs are scared...

So I will admit, I'm a bit nervous. I have written all new material, and the topics have nothing to do with me personally or my family, as my previous routine did. My hope is that I can continue to do this show, with new material each time, or edited and stronger material, and eventually... maybe I'll rent a theater and produce my own show... WHO KNOWS?!?!?!?

So there's that, NEXT... I'm taking a lot more pictures and trying to get a job as a photographer!

... ok that's boring...

Please, if you are a fan of laughing, or of me, or of Awkward Compliment, who are a group of great and ambitious comedians that sometimes just perform for each other because they love it so damn much... then COME SEE THIS SHOW:

DATE: Thursday, March 25
TIME: 8PM
PLACE: Somerville Theater, Davis Square (Red Line)
COST: a blow job... kidding: $5 students and $10 normals

I hope to see you there, please be gentle with me, because... I don't plan to be gentle with you.

cheers
