November 16th, 2018 marks 3 years doing standup.
Whew. I’ve almost haven’t done anything this well, for this long. College still stands at 4 years and my ex still holds 5. I sucked at both of these things by the way. If we go back to Summer 2014, I had just graduated college with a degree in Computer School (I love saying that. It’s one of the best moments in the KOC). I was wide eyed and bushy tailed and filled with hope that I would definitely get a secure job out of college. Anyway, I wasn’t even getting interviews. Once, in a blue moon, when I did get interviews, I’d fail them. Really bad. I feel as though I can make people laugh because I’m vulnerable on stage and I don’t care about poking fun at my flaws. That comes natural to me. Interviews don’t allow you to do this. Oh yeah and I don’t like coding for hours without human connection. These events set the framework of my comedy writing. I came up with a motto that if something makes me cry, I can turn around and make people laugh about it. I know that people go through some of the same things that I go through (if not worse) and making them laugh about it makes me feel warm inside. There’s a reason for everything blah blah blah. Moving into Atlanta was one of the best decisions I ever made. I'm closer to my family and I really enjoy this comedy scene. I can’t wait to keep working in it in the future. <3
