I write no less than 10 bits a day which is between 20 mins to an hour of material daily. I believe it is time for me to advance to a showcase or short performance as to gain experience in front of an actual audience outside the realm of the open mic.<br /><br /> As for my training at Second City, I have taken and completed Improv levels A/B and stand-up comedy level 1. The improv classes were effective in that they paved the way in terms of breaking the ice performance-wise helping to instill a basic level of confidence with a fine introduction to acting. The stand-up class taught me a lot about the different styles of writing/performing stand-up comedy and was a great confidence builder. I really got a feel for the amount of work that goes into being a stand-up comedian. It was a realistic and strong start to persuing my life's passion: stand-up comedy.Danette Markdanette614@hotmail.comnoreply@blogger.com
