I believe that comedy should be a part of every person’s media diet. Laughter is the best medicine for just about anything. We all have different preferences in terms of what we like in comedy, the most important part is that we smile and enjoy what we are watching.
Many years ago I had the opportunity to take a class in comedy and prepare a short monologue to perform, my ‘tight five’ as they seem to call it. I had an amazing time performing the piece although I did speed through it. Petrified by the sheer act of performing standup by myself I rested on this video for years not even willing to show it to my closest friends and family. Earlier this year I mustered up the courage to turn it on and see where all my fear came from. Truth is it was silly feeling. Life is too short to hold back on things you love doing, so with that in mind I hope you enjoy my standup routine from 2015.
