MY 1st REAL COMEDY GIG

 

 

This is happening! My first paid gig! Can you believe someone is paying me to do comedy??? Me either… When Catasha messaged me about being in the cast, I was pretty excited. She asked what I’m doing October 4th. My first thought was, that’s Mema’s birthday. If she were still here, she’d be 94 years old. Catasha’s message said, it would be $50 for 15 minutes. For two days I thought about it; considering whether or not I wanted to pay that much for comedy exposure. I wondered of I could do 30 minutes for $100? Finally I clued in that she wanted to pay ME. I accepted of course. Fifty bucks is fifty bucks.

It was just over a year ago when I delved into the weird, wonderful world of comedy. It has been a trip yau’ll. I’ve met many, many comedians throughout this year and I’ve had a freaking blast. I’ve also met some loathsome characters. To this point, I’ve only done open mic comedy, 4 minutes at a time. This show, I’ll have 15 minutes and fifty bucks. Hell yes!

To prepare for this show, I’m working on some old stuff and new stuff. Mostly I practice on unsuspecting clients and friends. I want to be funny of course and I want to be relevant. Also, I want to be redemptive, to motivate and inspire people, not tear them down. Let’s hope the crowd is ready to have fun.!!!
