3rd Annual Gay Mafia Comedy Competition

This year my friend and comedy buddy Mark asked me if I was going to participate. I had been thinking about it so his question got me moving on a 5 minute set. Thanks to lots of support and suggestions on the content I was able to memorize it. Last night I was there to do my 5 minutes at the club. It was an unusually small crowd, about 10 audience members. I did my set and got laughs which is what comedians live for. I was able to stay in the moment and notice that some noise in the background had stopped and I commented on it. I mention this because my improv training helps with being in the moment. I know it takes years and practice, practice, practice. My Toastmasters training has been so helpful. Results: I didn't have any of my people there to vote, so I don't go to the finals but I will continue. I am enrolled in a comedic performance class at Pasadena City College this semester. Yipee! I showed up! Thank you to every one of my close friends who gave me your time and support as I prepared. I feel good!
