I'm a 40 something year old man who has always had a passion for stand up comedy and a complete dread of public speaking. When my marriage ended, I decided to take control of my life back and pursue my long time dream of being a stand-up comedian. I'm 20 years older than the average starting comedian, but I'm 20 years more cynical too. This podcast will be an honest and at times brutal look into my new venture in stand up comedy while balancing a kid, a career, and a struggle with depression. Laugh at me, cheer me on, but follow my story as I reinvent myself.

I did a set
<p>It's been awhile since I've updated. I won't spoil/rewrite my reasons for that, just know that I'm at heart, a deeply flawed individual.</p> <p>Last September I wrote and performed a stand up act--or part of one. Since then I've gone through a lot emotionally and until today, I couldn't even bring myself to listen to it. I cringed as I pushed play...which is crazy because I know that I shouldn't expect to do well my first time up. </p> <p>I can't say what finally motivated me to publish this. But I think it has a lot to do with the fact that it keeps crying out to me as an unfinished commitment. I really appreciate you listening and I have every intention of following through with this.</p> <p>Stay safe and always look for the funny.</p>

LTSU Back to School
<p> </p> <p>I started my Stand Up Comedy 101 Class yesterday and I'm here with Shakara Robinson to talk about how it went. As an introductory class there's a lot of planning and less doing, but I got some remedial mic time.</p> <p>I'd also like to introduce you to the "To:MOM" Podcast. This is a unique project that Shakara has been working on for almost a year and I'm so proud to see her launch. Please help us out by listening and subscribing. We both appreciate all your support.</p>
