Last night was… amazing. I was able to get on stage two times for the second night in a row, and both of my sets went extremely well. The first mic was at a dive bar in Pflugerville, about twenty minutes north of Austin. It’s exactly what you would picture if you thought up a … Continue reading Finding Success on Stage
I got back on the comedy horse last night and was able to hit two open mics in Austin. We got a pretty big rain storm last week so a lot of mics got cancelled. On Thursday I ended up going to two mics expecting to perform but neither ended up actually happening. I think … Continue reading Falling Forward
Shooby dooby dooooooo. I’m feeling great today. It’s a far cry from where I was just a few days ago, because I was nottttttt doing well. I knew that moving to a new city on my own, not knowing anyone here, and pursuing stand-up comedy would provide me with challenges, I just wasn’t sure exactly … Continue reading Managing Comedy and Mental Health
Weeeeeeeeeeeee. I had the most amazing set last night. It wasn’t all roses before that, though. It was actually no roses. The day was pretty awful before that. What do they say, though? It’s always darkest before the dawn? I guess I have to share my tragic love story for some background. Before the pandemic … Continue reading My Tragic Love Story
I’m at a cafe staring at a post next to this table. A bunch of people have written all over it. Most of them are couples. Kyle and Natasha, J and J, Josh and Tiff 4ever. Then you have everything else, from “poppin’ pussies 4 life,” to “you are loved.” I think the main message … Continue reading Marriage and Relationships
Holy smokes do I love Austin. It’s only been a few weeks, but I feel completely at home here. I came here not knowing a single person, but I’ve already made so many friends and met so many interesting people. I was invited to the most incredible gathering this past weekend by a new friend. … Continue reading Getting Weird and Finding My Crowd
Where am I? What is happening? Whose chair is that? What a whirlwind of a week it has been. I tell you what, I tell you whatttttt. I went to four open mics last week in three days and totally burned myself out. That and having too much caffeine. I'm super sensitive to caffeine and … Continue reading Open Mics and Meeting Friends
What a thing it is. Comedy of the open mic variety. I went to my first open mic since moving to Austin last night, and it was a lot of things: Fun, interesting, weird... all of it. I arrived early to see that I was going up last, which wasn't exactly what I was hoping … Continue reading Open Mic Comedy
Hi. Steve McQueen here. Pleasure to meet your acquaintance. Have you heard about my all new Steamy Dream Blaster? Just pour in some water and go the hell to sleep and steam will be seeping into your dreams in no time, clouding up not just your memory, but everything you know about life. If you're … Continue reading Steve McQueen
Holy Mexican Moses with a monkey for a mouth I need to clean my computer. Disgusting. How do I live with myself? I don't know if it's a male thing or I'm just a bit of slob but sometimes things have to get obscenely dirty for me to even notice. I ordered a mango smoothie … Continue reading Mango Smoothie
