Now Appearing!

So a comedy club in Canton Ohio called me last night. They were at the audition last week and liked my work (the owner owns both clubs). They would like me to do the opening act tonight. Seems that someone who was supposed to work can't do it.

Canton Ohio...huh? Little over an hour drive? I'll be there. So I have to haul booty after work tonight to get there on time. Good thing I had material prepped...although I may skip the gay humor. I really can't see the audiences of Canton enjoying my comments about finding a boyfriend.

That being said, I can easily change my routines to match a straight person. He becomes she...etc. It's one of the things I felt uncomfortable about when I first started doing this. Be true to myself?...or be what an audience wants me to be?

My old agent (and mentor) was big on one thing..."Take What You Can Get". It's been good advice. I've played something close to scenery on stage before...but every little bit of exposure has helped me along the way. If I was to talk to Tony now...I could hear him scream "Straighten it up and make fun of them".

So am I ready? yes. Apprehensive? Oh, Yeah! I think I need another Triple Venti Latte from Starbucks
