I did stand-up before I was ready
And guess what?! I didn't die!
Welcome back to Behind the Mic — raw reflections from a writing coach, author, and event producer who believes everyone has something worth sharing. A newsletter that puts courage and creativity at center stage.
A few Sundays ago, I tried open-mic stand-up for the second time ever. This time, I was stone-cold sober and a little unprepared. But you know what? Everything went just fine — even when I messed up. More in this spur-of-the-moment video below:
So below is a clip from my set (Psst! There’s a little cussing!) that includes one of the many parts where I messed up. But watch how lovingly they laugh!!
And here’s the info on Tuesday’s writing workshop!
The first half will include encouragement + writing (I’ll have a prompt or you can dig into your own topic/current DBP focus!) and the second half will be sharing + feedback. It’ll be REAL cozy. Six of us max.
It’ll be $50/time for DBP members and $70/time for non-members. Coffee and snacks will be provided. And if you want to try joining virtually, we can give that a whirl, too!
Let me know if you have any questions or hesitations, K?
Thank you for being here with me, today. I hope I made you laugh.
And if you want even MORE goofiness and/or proof that I have lost my mind, you can watch my whole open mic set below. Buckle up, baby!
