REBORN

After you release a comedy special, its a little scary. You just put your material you have written for the last few years and have to start again. When you do shows, you don't know who has seen your special and don't want to repeat the same jokes. At the same time, you sometimes don't really have a lot of new material that isn't on the specials so there is bound to be overlap.

That being said, it is so excited to go on stage with a blank slate. The last few weeks after the release of my special (go watch it on youtube already!) have been exciting. Trying new jokes, talking to the audience on interactive jokes. Earlier in my career, I would never try new un proven jokes on a weekend show but now I do it often, especially when I have a longer set to hide it in between two proven jokes (aka the sh*t sandwich).

I honestly feel reborn. I get excited to try new stuff and see what works then go back and write the parts this did (and eliminate those that didn't). I am excited to rebuild my new set for my next special! Hope to see you at the upcoming June shows in Indiana, Detroit, North Dakota and Florida! #standup #comedy #newjokes #comedian
