Can I become a comic for one night!

Last night, I went to cheer and support my friend, Cindy performing her very 1st stand -up at Comix. Cindy had taken a Comedy class and last night was Graduation night. I admit that as her friend, I am biased -  she was SO SO funny.  I so so admire her courage to get up on the stage. I  also was quite envious.Once again, feelings of " I wish I could do that" .   The next class begins on Aug.31st ....I am so tempted to sign up.  There is something... so inviting and frightening about putting it all on the line.  Can I get up there and talk about my life....can i be funny...can I deal with all the prying eyes.  ....i have the brochure ..right here on my coffee table...." it is calling my name..."Melanie, Melanie ....you can do this"  and despite my inital reaction - to reply " shut the fuck up!"...but I have not yet...stay tuned

Last night, challenged myself to go alone to the comedy club....I have always felt self-conscious to do that in the past. But, this damn challenge is not letting me get away with my usual crap.  So, off I went - i entered the club...and was met immediately with the question " are you alone , this evening... is this a reservation for one"  My smart ass response " yes, darlin - that is the story of my life lately"  . The check in person laughed!  So, maybe I do have a career in comedy- I know , I can be a smart ass - when called for!

I entered the club and was seated at a table for 4.....by the doorman.  My waiter was not pleased and suggested that I move to a more acceptable seat for a single.... My smart ass response " No one puts baby in the corner, sweetheart"

He laughed - I wondered " what the hell is the matter with these, people?"  Why do they find smart ass bitches ..funny? I will definitely have to remember that !
