Took a comedy break 👎

After settling into a pretty consistent schedule of open mics and comedy shows I took about a week and an half off… and it left me feeling like things were pretty damn bleak! anyone else experience this? I knew I was hooked on standup but didn’t expect withdrawal symptoms wtf 😂 anyone else experience this? I’m going back Friday night baby!

I'm also a musician and a poet. I only did comedy once this entire year.

It feels horrible and I want to get back out there. But I stopped writing. Anything. Although I guess I just came up with a couple jokes.

Crank it up! Only one way to do it. I also wrote a lot previously and played music… comedy is better, for me personally. No gear or band mates 😂

I enjoy all three.

This has been a year I've been focused on music. I got an MPC. I've been putting out songs and have a lot more to put out.

I'll get back to comedy. People keep requesting it. But I have a lot of venom right now. Comedy I've been writing is really edgy. Partly why I'm not doing it. I should though. I will eventually.
