It was a thrill! I want to push myself to do things that scare me- because what else is life about? I decide to audition for another stand-up competition- and I got in!!
I’ll be performing/competing next Wednesday, July 30th at Flapper Comedy Club! It will only be my second time on stage, so be gentle… but come say hi and giggle with me!”
