Congratulations on your ‘break out’! Feel free to ‘kill’ as many audiences as possible. With any luck you’ll get ‘sentenced’ to more stage ‘time’. Look forward to seeing your work.

Writing used to be painful and worrysome to me.

Now its a fun adventure, where I wonder where the next thought will take me.

It snapped me out of the “everything’s GOTTA be perfect” mindset. Severely second guessing myself with writing is gone and has taken a lot of pressure off me.

Just watch a headliner club comic on youtube. Not TV comics. You then realize that not everything you say needs to be a gem. Your own sense of humor and Steve’s structure will guide you through.

I found joke formulas constricting, almost as if I had a gag in my mouth blocking what I wanted to say. Dont’ get me wrong, only the best one-liners that I had were recycled into my act, along with my steve-inspired material.

Hell, a few chapters into the course 1 writing guide, and I was already developing material that was stuffed back in the recesses of brain, waiting to be released from their prison. The precieved need of adherence to joke formula structure was their warden. He’s gone now, and the inmates are running wild!
