This past Thursday I finally returned to the world of standup comedy. I may have listened to Not Afraid by Eminem a thousand times that day before heading to the open mic spot with Burgundy. 10 months have passed since the last time I performed a standup routine, and for a while there I thought I’d never get back up on stage. I had reason after reason for not performing, but in reality those “reasons” were just excuses. Pursue your dreams, there’s never any shame in trying. This is the new mentality I have come to embrace with comedy. It’s true I may not be the funniest fuck who ever lived, and I have a long difficult road ahead of me if I want any type of a career to come from this. I’ll face all of these challenges though, because I have never felt such an intense passion for anything else in my life. I didn't exactly kill it up there that night and it was a small crowd. I don't care about how I did though, the only thing that mattered to me was getting back on stage. I had originally intended to post the actual video here but the blog video uploader is bitching out. Instead I will post the link to my performance on youtube if you want to watch it.
