Como estan, beetches? Nice to see you again.
I’m working on several new posts, but none of them are quite ready for prime time. Here’s a preview of what I’ll be talking about in the coming days:
- How to work a two-percenter into an act — Remember how I said that two-percenters are strictly for TV? Oops!
- What is a bit vs a joke? — Stand-up acts are comprised of both bits and standalone jokes, and the distinction is subtle.
- Untitled Facebook rant — I have something to say about Facebook, though I’m not quite sure what. But that’s never stopped me before.
I realize that my recent archives are filled with posts on the backstage politics of stand-up comedy, a not-entirely-fascinating topic that I’d like to move away from for a while. Until, of course, the next petty slight sends me crying back to the Internet. But for now: craft!
Finally, I want to thank everyone who has been bugging me with “when are you going to post to the blog again?” I am being absolutely sincere when I say this. For a long time, this place was just me holding my junk and shouting into the wilderness–so it’s tremendously gratifying, and motivating, to know that people are reading. Thank you!
How about less blogging because of more performing? I don’t recall seeing a month long vacation in your standup goals blog jan 1st.
Call me.
