You Can Always Go Back?

"Well, you can always go back to practice law, right?" I hear that from time to time time at my comedy shows. I guess its true I can. Weird to bring it up after a comedy show, right? Like, are you saying I should? LOL

Believe me, I think about it sometimes, especially at less than capacity shows (read as small crowds) or after a show that doesn't go well (bomb) or when a booker doesn't email me back. But I made this bed and I am happy to rest in it, for now. I had a good run as a lawyer and I hope to do the same with comedy. Some people pursue the arts first and then go to something "stable". So many friends I knew as lawyers were musicians before or chefs or whatever. I myself was a musician too. I just happen to do this later in life.

I hope it never comes to that and I hope that something big happens soon so I stop hearing about my safety valve of law. I have faith good things will happen and I worked so hard to get to a higher level of success and am starting to see the fruits of that work and, to some extent, talent. In the meantime, I keep trying to do cool things with comedy, whether its stand up or podcasting or hosting one of my interview shows. Hope you can make it to a show soon and thank you for spreading the word about my shows, social media or podcast, if you have. If you have not, thats ok too. See you in court? #formerlawyer #bettercallpaul #standup #comedy
