WHAT DO YOU FOR FUN?

Thats a question often asked of me in interviews, conversations or dating profiles. I don't have an answer. I am lucky enough to do something that often doesn't feel like work. I have fun on stage. I have fun writing. I have fun creating. I have fun driving to and from my shows (most of the time). I even have fun strategizing and handling some of the business aspects of comedy (some, not all!). Not much of a work/life balance, I suppose.

That being said, I am trying to take more nights off from stand up to do things people do who have conventional social lives. I had the night off last night and was hoping to see a concert or a Cubs game but of course, the Cubs were off, there were no concerts and ...I fell asleep. I didn't leave my apartment for 24 hours.

I love reading books and catching up on shows and movies while I work out, when I am on the road. I still have not gone to a regular season Cubs game this year and its been a minute since I went to a concert. When I am not productive, I get very antsy and anxious so its hard for me to engage is social activities sometimes. Last week, however, I was able to partake in one of my new favorite pastimes, which is a post-show cigar with other comedians. I plan on doing the same this weekend.

Thank you for reading and hope to see you in North Dakota, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Florida this month! #standup #comedy #sociallive #worklifebalance
