“I’m actually extremely thankful to be here tonight, because I had a near-death experience a few weeks ago. I got stopped by one of those people on the corner with a clipboard. And for anyone who is in that situation, they feel a lot of panic and don’t know what to do. But, I made eye-contact and I was screwed.”

“One of my friends who I knew who does stand-up comedy, I asked him if there were any shows that were coming up and he told me he was in a competition in a few weeks in the future and he suggested that I join up. So I went ahead and I signed up, and the first round was just 3-5 minutes and I basically went up there and tried to be funny and got on to the next round. I didn’t make it to the final round but after that I –through the competition- met a bunch of people who are in the U.O. Stand-Up Society, which is a group who meets once a week and share ideas for stand-up comedy and critique it. So I met up with those guys and I’ve been meeting up with them ever since.”

“It’s tough, and I told her -I’m serious about this- I told her I’ll go home, research it, and I’ll legitimately think about it. But she cut me off she was like, ‘No no no no, it’s okay. Just put you’re information down, this little girl starts school next week and one day, maybe she’ll be able to have her first beer.’ I can send her a six-pack of Bud Light right now.”

“So yeah it has definitely helped me get over some public speaking fears. Because when I first started I was just mumbling and barely getting my words out. Now I can go up there and say whatever and I’m not nervous anymore.”

“I’m more of a story-teller of a comedian. I like to tell stories of high school or Boy Scouts or other stuff that wasn’t humorous at the time but is really funny to think about now.”
