Peer Pressure / Student Discount

 During the 2011 season, Under Pressure Comedy and Student Discount Comedy are teaming up to create a showcase specifically designed to show off the talents of local, younger comedians.  Many of the performers are not permitted in the traditional twenty-one and over comedy venues. This showcase will land on the first Friday of every month at The Pressure Comedy Cafe located at 6318 North Clark Street in the Edgewater community of Chicago.  The show is completely free, all ages and friendly for almost all audiences.  (some adult content is expected)  Parking and transportation are both readily available.  Pressure offers a light dinner menu, snacks, full coffee bar and alcohol for those over 21 (21+ strictly enforced.)

Zanies Rising Star Showcase.

Wednesday, December 22nd I made my third appearance and first Rising Star Showcase appearance at Zanies Comedy Club. I accomplished everything I set out to do despite a few minor setbacks and a few things I'm now aware that I should work on.  To alleviate the nerves, I decided to do an improvised set of one liners.  Audience reaction was fantastic, but segues and callbacks were noticeably missing. (despite being my usual fortes)  I was given the position of first in the order which was a mixed blessing.  I do much better when I'm not over thinking my material however, a little time contemplate would have done me some good.  But, I'm not complaining...  For someone first out of the starting gates, my audience response was exceptional.  They caught the majority of the double meanings in my material and laughed exactly on the beats I had anticipated.  I walked away from this experience on a definite high note leaning that I can accomplish exactly what I set out to do.  And also learning that it would be for my benefit to work on a solid block of material that works every time rather than randomly drawing from a group of one liners that work the majority of the t time.

This is my very first blog.

Well, currently it's 3:40am and I'm not feeling that creative.  My brother has a blog and I feel encouraged after reading some of his to create one myself.
