YOU SEEMED SAD

I heard that recently after a show. I don't really have a response to that. Like everyone, I have a personal life that can affect my work and sometimes its hard to make people laugh when you are worried about the health of loved ones on stage. The show must go on.

Because I am not a high energy comedian, I can usually get away with not showing my emotions on stage. After a show where I did really well, the other comedian in the green room said "how did it go" and when I said it went really well he told me it didn't look like it did. The truth is, I really did have so much fun on that show but I must have been thinking about something else when I got off stage, like a tag I didn't use or how much time I had to get to my next show, so I looked preoccupied. I don't have huge highs or low lows anymore. I am even keeled all the time. But yeah, sometimes I am very sad on stage.

I remember as a kid when one of my favorite baseball players was struggling at the plate and we could not understand it. My friend's dad told us he was going through a messy divorce and that probably affected his work since that is hard for adults to cope with. I hope my personal life issues, when they arise, don't affect my output or performance on stage. But I guess all comedians are sad clowns after all.

Thank you to all the people who made it to my show at Zanies on Tuesday and thank you all for spreading the word about my shows in Milwaukee, DC and Atlanta.
