Last night was my second attempt at comedy open mic night. I did okay, but think I did better the first time. I always thought it was something I just wanted to do...just an idea in the back of my head. It turns out it's a big phat dream and I'm going for it.
It's an odd place to be because I'm the tallest, the oldest (I've got about 10 years on all the comedians as well as most of the crowd - all young and single), and I am the only female. I'm trying to work this to my advantage with fresh, edgy and yet, very educational material.
So, if you live somewhere around Omaha have some spare time on Sunday night and $3 in your pocket , please please please, come support vulnerable and yet funny souls. The competition begins this Sunday, and by competition, I mean, I'm stepping it up a notch for the sake of WINNING and also, winning money. Tell all of your friends. We need a big crowd.
If you don't live around here, keep an eye out. I'll drop this gig as soon as I stink it up. The problem is, it seems most of the critics are afraid of me...seeing as how I'm bigger than them and put fear into their little faces simply by threatening a time out chair.... As long as I'm having fun with it, and Ricardo let's me out of the house....I'm going for it. So,somebody PLEASE tell me if you love it. But most importantly, let me know if I'm not as funny as I think I am. I can take it.
Please please come out on Sunday nights! Icehouse Live, Sunday, April 1, 8p.m.
That's how I roll.

I am so proud of you for doing this! I would give just about anything to come and see it. Since I can't, I am BEGGING someone to video it for me and put it on You Tube or something....or at least e-mail it to me!

GO FOR IT!!!!!
I wish I could come (or stay) in Omaha to see you! Ask Ricardo to tape it! I think you will do very well and have a ball at the same time!
Good luck next week!

Have you ever thought of having Max as your Joke Writer? He says he's funny!
Have fun!

Max's routine would simply be to stand on stage and bonk himself on the forehead with his hand repeatedly. Now, I know that's funny.....but not sure if the rest of the crowd would. They might suggest he seek professional help.
