30 DAYS OF STAND UP COMEDY [stand up comedy BLOGRMAGE: DAY 3]

To be honest, I am frightened by the next 30 days. The BLOGRIMAGE begins. During these next days, I will work on performing stand up comedy while daily blogging it.

I’M FREAKING OUT!

I’m extremely busy right now. Between a full time job, three post master’s graduation courses, working for a magazine doing high fashion photography, getting a folk hip-hop band off the ground and doing life with my important people, I probably should not entertain stand up comedy.

This quest is not a wise use of time. This quest makes me extremely nervous—the throw up in your mouth kind of nervous. This quest is perfect.

The BLOGRIMAGE is the perfect avenue to do something you don’t “have time” for (as if any of us could ever “have time”) and for things that FREAK YOU OUT.

THE PLAN:

-Write stand up comedy for 30-60 minutes a day

-Deliver sections of my comedy to friends or strangers daily

-Try to perform at Open Mike’s once a week or every other week

-Get a large gig

*I’m open to suggestions on how I should do the challenge)

Lots of people have told me that I am funny, but lots of people tell their friends that they have a good voice and should try out for American Idol.

Being funny is easy when people don’t expect it. Being funny on demand is entirely different. Try it. Go up to someone and say, “be funny,” and see what happens.

Well, wish me luck.
