Ok fine I might be a little misleading when I mentioned exciting but new anyways!
It's been a pretty busy few weeks for me. I got to perform at Yuk Yuk's a few times, got alot of writing done and started the Comedy Troupe.
So I did finally get some stage time here in Ottawa, Hey man it's not easy getting on cause I guess there are alot of people aspiring to be Comics. My performances went well, and I was even told that I was the funniest of the night. Gotta love hearing that. Hey feedback is soo necessary in this industry, so when people lined up to come up to me and shake my hand and tell me how much they enjoyed it, then bring it on. Dammit though, why did I choose the only stage/performing career that doesn't get you laid!1 Figures, I would choose the one! But I am keeping it up and look forward to perfoming a whole lot more soon.
The most exciting part for me though is the Comedy troupe that I started. It's been a slow take off, but the interest is there and I was lucky enough to secure some amazing talent. I got everything from trained actors, comedians, writers and average funny Joe's. I took on a partner of sorts, cause he knows all the stuff that I don't. He's a trained Actra(Canadian SAG) Actor. He's been a great help and also directs Video's on the side. I've had issues locking down a great studio for all of us to rehearse, write and perform in but I will find this infamous unicorn type space. We had a great first meeting and actually filmed our first skit this weekend. It's cold as hell out here and it was a beach shoot, that included myself and three bikini clad women, see if you can guess who wrote this one??haha..But yeah it went really well and I can't wait to see the final cut. I'm really hoping that we get alot of these little skits down on film, maybe get into some festivals and then ideally get a monthly live show. All these are within our grasp and it's gonna be so much fun.
Anyways, this is what's going on over here. I'll be moving downtown Ottawa hopefully Dec 1st and look forward to stealing some of it's energy. There's always a little buzz going around in the market, and for some reason I always have a little buzz on when I go the market, so that should work out well.
Hope you are doing what you want to do and keep in touch. Lots of fun stuff coming!
Bob
