Something Like A Comedian

As one of several classes I am taking this semester in CreComm, Comedy Writing is definitely something different from the typical class. It has what you would probably assume that a class about comedy writing would have – joke/set journals, sketch comedy, and telling jokes to the rest of your class. Another major part of this class, though – and the one that probably scared many potential takers off – is the stand-up component.

Yeah, I know. You probably just gasped. But you’re not the one who’s doing it. I (and about 30 other CreComm students) will be standing and delivering some content of the comedic variety at Rumor’s Restaurant and Comedy Club on Monday, Nov. 7. I’ve seen some  of the stuff that’s likely to make the cut from some of my classmates, and it’s pretty good…prettay, prettay, prettay good.

Myself? I’m not worried about it in the least. I feel like I can go out there and have a decent set no matter what. Not to say that I’m aiming for “not the worst”, but I think I’ll be able to handle the show well enough, and hopefully make people laugh. I’d love to give you  a preview, but for freshness’s sake, I won’t. Plus, it’s going to be my first appearance on stage as a trainee comedian – I really don’t want to cheapen that ;).

Make it out if you can because it’s probably gonna be a hell of a show.
