As I roll along my creative journey new pursuits come to the surface. I do my best to be responsive to them so when the idea of stand-up comedy came to the fore I thought ok. I’ll try it. I mentioned to my friends that I thought that was the next direction I was being nudged to head. Here is how it unfolded.
Me to my friends: “Wouldn’t it be fun to try stand-up comedy? To get up and see if you could make people laugh?
My friends: Ummm, NO!
Me: I think it would be a blast. Where do you go for that? Is there a stand-up school or something?
Fast forward to 2 months ago. I am in Hawaii watching a local morning show on TV and a comedian named Kyle Cease is on the show, he is just talking and laughing having a good time and then the host says “That’s all the time we have” which causes Kyle to spit out at the last second before the commercial break “check out our website Standupbootcamp.com”.
Really, there actually is a school for stand up! I know, it shocked me too! I thought the school was in Hawaii but when I went to the website I found out it travels to different places around the U.S. and the next camp they were hosting was going to be about 90 minutes from my house. Weird right?
As you might have guessed, I signed up and took the camp. It was so much more than what I expected. The instructors, Kyle Cease and Louie Anderson were amazing! The experience was great and the other comedians were so supportive of a neophyte like me.
If you have a chance to attend Stand-Up Boot Camp, DO IT!
