Hi Friends! I want to share some great news with everyone – I was selected to participate in the Burbank Comedy Festival. Burbank is in the heart of “Hollywood,” and is home to a multitude of entertainment powerhouses such as The Walt Disney Studios, Nickelodeon and Warner Bros. Studios (among others). The Festival is a week-long event filled with comedy shows, industry panels and after-parties. This is a great opportunity for me to reach a broader audience, and just have a great time making people laugh. 🙂
I know most of you do not live in Los Angeles and won’t be able to make any of the shows, but I still wanted to keep you in the loop about what’s going on in my life. If you would like tickets, please click here, let me know how many tickets you want, and I will hook you up :-).
Also – my schedule has been exceptionally hectic the last few months, but I intend on posting more often like I did in the past. For my next post, I plan on writing about “letting go.” Until then…be well my friends, and have a wonderful day!

I give you so much credit for doing stand up comedy! That would be sooooo intimidating to me. I watched one of your YouRube videos on it. You do great!

Thank you! That’s awesome you watched my video. Other than the bright lights making me look even paler than I am, I’m happy with the video. Lol Yeah, it’s pretty wild going up on stage like that. I still get nervous right before. But once the MC introduces me and I start approaching the stage – I start to chill out. Thanks for the encouraging words!! 🙂

I was thinking that about humour and audiences, and I think being a stand up comic must be one of the hardest occupations. I suppose you have to develop a tough skin, and just keep performing. 🙂
Good Luck again 🙂
