It's one of those things where you’re trying to figure out what the hell to do with your life. The problem was I never listened when people said, "you should be a comedian". I thought that was just something you say when people tell you a joke. Then one day the opportunity came up to be a Comedian. Guess I should have listened earlier.
I was going to the comedy club every week on my day off. One day I had the urge to ask the waiter how the amateur comedians got picked to go on stage week. I guess she thought I was asking if I could go on. I was not. She told me to come out on amateur nite next week before the show and meet with the headliner for a workshop, and then I would find out if I could go on stage or not. She said that if I came I would not have to pay cover for going to the show. That was the kicker, show up early, listen, get in free!!
It was so fast that I became a working touring Comedian it made my head spin. Now I have toured the country and even hit some of the hot spots in other countries doing comedy. I have had so much fun with audiences and industry and I continue to have fun without even knowing where comedy will take me next.
