Stand Up, Improv, Fight Fight Fight!

There are basically two forms for stand up. Jokes and Stories. Jokes can tell stories and stories can tell jokes. But, basically, they are different. I have been "telling jokes" for the majority of my stage time. I'm starting to work on my storytelling stand up chops.

I'll be giving it a go, tonight at Asheville Disclaimer's open mic at The Southern. 

But, before that, I've got improv practice with Tomfoolery & The Shenanigans. There are so many things to remember in order to be a good scene partner. Improv is unlike a lot of other things, in that to be good at it, means you make other people look good. If you make your self look good but not your scene partners, you are not doing good improv. You are doing selfish improv.

We'll be performing at The Carolina Cinemas, on Hendersonville Rd, Friday 1/30/15 at 8pm

After the stand up, tonight, I'll be looking and and editing some sketch comedy I wrote in writing class at Second City. I'll be bringing them in, to a workshop with Kevin McDonald, this weekend. This will be my third time making comedy magic with one of my idols from Kids In The Hall.

I will be performing with Kevin McDonald, at The Toy Boat, Saturday 1/31/15 at 8pm

well,.. guess what,.. I'm fucking hustling okay? maybe I'll have more time to post more detailed and relevant information tomorrow.
