I’m so excited for this!

Just remind yourself that you are funny and this audience is not, that’s why they have come to enjoy your show.

I see the date on the sheet. Will you be saved by COVID? I had stuff get canceled that day. Thankfully.

10 spaces for people to sign in. That’s about ½ the size of the town!!

“Everyone’s queer but me and thee, and I’m not too sure about thee”. Long before the “gay 90’s”.

Ohhh, she’s going for it. This is going to be great.

I used to do one-minute live-on-tape news parody on commercial radio for a couple of years. I had to read three newspapers before breakfast in order to find new ideas for topical jokes. Even one minute can be a strain on a daily basis. You have my sympathy.

Just get up there and wing it! Or at least that seems to be what the comedians did at the last comedy club we went to last weekend.

Everyone has their own process – it’ll be interesting to see where you take it!

Look up the comic Henry Cho on You tube. 30+ years ago (with ZERO standup experience) he entered a competition at a comedy club and won. He worked on his stories while driving to the club with some college buddies. He is a seriously funny guy! Success can happen for Amanda, too!

They LOVED you!

Wait! You didn’t bring whiteout?
