From some chick at mtvU. Saying that they were looking for young comedians for the channel and thought I was really funny and they’d love to consider me if I’m interested. And so I’ve been emailing a producer for the past few days and sending them footage and most likely nothing will happen and I won’t get on but it is still sort of cool.
That is all.

I am what you’d call “abstinent by circumstance.” And by circumstance, I mean my face.
Clip from a show I did for a group of strange churchgoing singles over 30. Went surprisingly well. Apparently you CAN talk about sex in a church, IF you are talking about how you are incapable of getting any.
Went surprisingly well. Got an offer to do a pot-themed show at the LA Improv Comedy Lab next week. Not sure I’m the best fit for it, but Todd Glass might headline so if I can swing it with work…I might do it. My first thought upon getting the Facebook message was, “I am not a pot smoker…like at all…Two hour drive, probably more on a Friday night in LA…going to ask for ANOTHER day off from work?” But then, I am trying to be more reckless and passionate when it comes to comedy. I have to be. Sometimes, a lot of times, I’m gonna have to drive. Sometimes it won’t be worth it. Sometimes the show is going to suck. But I have to want this enough to make those sacrifices. And I do.
Regardless of what happens, it’s always nice to hear that someone thinks you’re “funnier and more polished than a lot of the hacks in LA.”
Apparently I succeeded in tricking at least one person.

And I guess I should get used to it, but as of right now I am not. And this hipster show is not giving me much to go on. The only thing I really know is that I am supposed to get there in the next hour, and that I will not know anyone.

Louis CK on Q TV
I started when I was 18, so I was a young comic a long time. And I never really liked being a young comic because I just felt a little marginalized and I also didn’t have much to say, so I used to dig through life for things to talk about. You know, “Oh, dolphins.” Try to come up something about dolphins. Who gives a f-…hoot about dolphins?
I’m beyond being afraid of not being good enough. I just need to do it.
I cannot wait for Friday.

Got THISCLOSE to meeting Marc Maron. Did not, due to my high level of anxiety and a strange, long-haired fellow in front of us in line who seemed to be under the impression that they were now bosom buddies. I hated myself for this, but I emailed him and got a nice little response back so I feel like slightly less of a frightened loser now. Opener (Nick Yousseff) was good. Eddie Peppitone was hilarious, Maria Bamford was amazing, and Maron was, well obviously brilliant.
I have to say, I was pretty worried going into it. I didn’t want to be disappointed-in my heroes, the club, or this “comedy lifestyle” I’ve been romanticizing for the past two years. But it wasn’t. It was absolutely wonderful and just reinforced everything I felt beforehand. And the whole night made me want to work harder. Get better. Get great.
It was perfect.

That’s right. This girl.
I cannot handle this. Definitely not sticking around to try and meet them. Meeting two of my biggest heroes, AT THE SAME TIME-not a good idea. I think I would implode.
