A Comedian Unleashed
I did it. I crossed stand-up comedy off my bucket list! My new funny friends and I performed our first 5 minute set to a sold out audience at the John Candy Box Theatre on August 2nd. The past 7 weeks we have been enrolled in Stand-Up One with comedian Todd Van Allen at Second City. I have a new respect for comedians because it was hella hard. But, it was also a total kick. The language I use is not kid or work appropriate so watch at home with a glass of wine. Hope you like it.
If you want to see the entire show, it is in two parts (I’m at the end of the first and the beginning of the second, so watch the above for my part). The show was surprisingly professional considering it was the first time for all of us. My friends all killed it!

Lady – You ROCKED IT!. I’ll watch the whole thing when I have more time, but I saw this and just had to watch you immediately. You are just like what you write. Except you didn’t fall off the stage, so still no recent ER visit. Yeah you!!!!!
Thank you! Next time (ugh! did I just say that), flat shoes. I was tempting fate for sure.
Oops! I meant YAY you!!! Duh.
You did fantastic! I’m fangirling.
Favorite part was the intimidation step 🙂

Glad you liked it. That was my instructor’s favourite part too.
Hilarious Kris! I especially liked the Alzheimers part. You rocked it 🙂
Thanks! I had another joke for that but it was scrapped right before I went on because I was long ?
Oh my God Kris!!! You are a rock star. Blimey I’m so impressed lady. x
Blimey! I should have worked that in… Next time! Thx for watching because I just can’t bring myself to do it!
You did awesome up there. Very entertaining. And congrats on fulfilling that personal accomplishment.
Thanks for coming! I really liked that I had some friendly faces in the audience!
I am so impressed! Way to go! I always knew you were funny. You should do part 2 of the class.
I plan to but need a break. I’m thinking October I will start. Damn. I got the bug!
I am SO f***ing proud of you!!! Five minutes must have seemed like an eternity but you nailed it. Congratulations!
It seemed like an eternity when I was practising, but I have to say, it went by too fast on the night. Shit, I loved it. I wish I could say it was awful and I am glad it is over, but I’m not.
Love it, love it, love it! You rock!!! F*ck is definitely Mommy’s special word. Couldn’t stop laughing. The stuff you come up with – I would so love to have a peep into that brain of yours.
Thanks Hun! I wish you could get in my brain and find the shit I keep forgetting!

Bravo! I love the bravery and spirit of taking a risk like this one! And am glad Mister (aka shower friend) was there to support!

I had several friends there to support me. It was great to see the friendly faces before and after my set. I felt the love for sure!
That was a fucking great set. I especially loved the fantasizing about having Alzheimer’s and the great single cackle that went through the room at that.

I haven’t been able to watch it back to here the cackle. There was a big guy lounging in the front row who was apparently a fan of mine because he laughed at everything, including my breathing. Must have been him. Thanks for watching, Christopher.
Very impressive! You looked very comfortably up there in front of all those people.

Thanks for watching, Bun. It was easy once I was up there, the hard part was all the writing and the practice.
Wow, you are amazing. Of course I knew this, but you are truly amazing and very funny and amazing too. You didn’t look at all scared although I was holding my breath the whole time for you knowing that you would be simply amazing. YUP, YOU NAILED IT! Love Mum
Thanks Mum! xoxo
