Being a professional comedian is quite an interesting occupation. The constant question that I'm presented with is, "Are you funny?" Of course, I enjoy answering that question with my performance. The downside of that is sometimes I may not get the gig because of unfamiliarity. Over the last couple of months, I've been researching many of the great artists of our time: Michelangelo, Van Gogh, Vermeer, da Vinci, Rembrandt, etc. In times past, I have not always appreciated the importance of the arts, or realized the high level of acumen it takes to create works of art. What I have found is there are great similarities in how artists approach the creative process. I can assure you that I will not attempt to slice my ear off at any point; but I am definitely open to immersing myself into the arts to find the connections that I can transition to the stage. Hence the new movement - The Art of Comedy.
I would like to give shout outs to a few folks:
SC Ovarian Cancer Foundation - I truly know that girls just wanna have fun! LOL!
Greater Young Zion Baptist Church - Augusta, GA - A lint brush, really y'all?? I'll see you in November, GYZ!
The Harvin family - Stuckey, SC - Ms. Shirley was a great sidekick.
Clarendon Safe Schools Initiative - Family Happy Hour is off the chain.
Chosen 2 Conquer International Ministries - Digital Sounds was excellent. Tell Brother Charles to leave the animals alone! LOL!
Thanks for coming along on the ride.
Holla at ya boi -
