it is finished.

After a year and a half of travel, classes, teachers, moving, shows, and everything else, last night I graduated from the Improv (comedy) Conservatory at The Second City!

Last night, thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of training came down to an one-size only t-shirt, thin crust pizza, and a couple pitchers of beer (of which, I drank none). ha. talk about underwhelming.

welcome to the world of comedy.

You only do comedy because of passion. The all consuming passion that makes you believe it's the only thing you can do. People always ask me how I got into comedy/why I do comedy. The answer is always the same: "I had no choice." Anyway who sticks with comedy to be famous is a fool. There is no glory. There is no fame. And there certainly is no money.

There is, however, a large t-shirt, thin crust pizza, a couple pitchers of cheap beer and, let's not forget, dance party. And, I, for one, wouldn't trade that for the world! :)
