Good for you! Congratulations for facing your fears! I'm so glad you did well! I never could have done that! (Especially not sober!😂😂😂)

Loved the shade thrown at Cage, heh heh. It appears you managed quite well in your intro to the stand-up world. I'm envious of those that can be funny on purpose - it definitely is a talent. And, the world needs more laughter so anything you do that makes someone smile or laugh is appreciated. Was wondering if Lola went?

Woo hoo!! Accomplishment unlocked! Way to go with the stand up routine! I didn't have a chance to listen to your recorded version, but the written version made me laugh.

That's amazing! You should be so proud. Getting up in front of people to do literally anything is my nightmare and I could absolutely not do it.

While reading this, I felt nervous - until the very end. Not that I thought you would fail …. Just empathy. Glad it went well.

“If I heavily promote an upcoming book signing for a month online, I might get a handful of people to meet me in person for free.”

Remember, you live in *Indiana*, and you want people intelligent enough to actually *read*?🤨

Nice! And from now on I'll refer to you as the Nicholas Cage of comedy, that's a way cooler title than you are letting on.
