.@pedrohanlon and I created this meme for a podcast. Meme’s are fun. Perhaps we’ll make more…

Enjoy this spec that I was in - charming and bizarre.

Radical thanks to all who supported Two Girls For Five Bucks on this recent run…

Self-producing comedy shows is a grueling and costly endeavor. Perhaps it can be categorized as a type of mental illness but for right now, let’s simply call it a labor of love.

Daiva joked in the opening Saturday night that we are officially middle-age. This was a startling and uncomfortable realization. But also an empowering one. For ten years, Daiva Deupree and I have been schlepping props, playlists, set lists, make-up, curling irons and fake eyelashes from Boston to New York to Los Angeles. We’ve had a few distressingly close calls with fame, some which were out of our hands and others we definitely botched. That’s the journey we were handed and that’s the one we took, passionately and fully committed.

A decade of Two Girls plus an additional five hustling the improv and sketch stages of Chicago, Boston and New York has taught me three things:

1. Timing

2. Rehearsal is important

3. Giving up is not an option

Doing comedy in your mid-thirties is different than your mid-twenties. Your body can’t support making the scene anymore. Two drinks and you’re like a discarded plastic bag, fraying in the bushes the next morning. You also need to make room for life issues: Babies, elder care, retirement savings, eating more kale…

Shit gets complicated.

3. Giving up is not an option

So, emboldened with a war chest of experience, Daiva and I and all of my great comedy friends I’ve met over the years move forward, ahead…

Because what the hell else are we going to do?

Last chance to see Two Girls For Five Bucks @thepit - tomorrow/saturday, 7PM!
