This year I am taking on learning new things. It's been a while since I put myself into a course of any kind, and it's awesome!
First up - NZ Comedy School, with this guy, Neil Thornton. One of the kindest, funniest and most aware men I've ever known.

| We hosted an award show together once. Didn't actually plan our costumes, but this happened! |
Neil is from New York, came here with his doctor husband, and decided to take on the stand up comedy scene like a boss.
It's a four class, two one-on-one sessions course culminating in a graduation show at the Fringe Bar. Mine is this Thursday. Eep!
I've done stand up before and I do funny stuff on stage all the time, but never with any kind of writing basis, because the idea of planning to say something and crafting it is confronting. What if it's no good?
But I'm pushing through and having fun. Why? OMG i would love to do gigs where it doesn't take 2 hours of hair and makeup and costuming!
