Going Forward, With Rest

My posts to this blog won’t be as frequent for the rest of the year, so I just wanted to lay out my timetable for things, including a temporary break from comedy.

I am still waiting for my comedy coach to sit down with me and hash out new material that I’ve been working on for the past several months.  Then it’s just a matter of getting a couple of videos to send to the booker in Calgary.

I have a couple of personal matters that will require my undivided attention in November.  I believe it’s a process that will take a couple of weeks at the most.  Now, once I get those out of the way I will be taking a brief hiatus from comedy, for the last few weeks of the year and maybe the first month of January/2016.

I would be lying to you if I said this year has been fun from a comedy perspective, because it hasn’t.  It’s been a very stressful past few months for me.  I’ve let several people down this year because of my actions or poor choices of words, and it’s caused me unnecessary stress and many nights where I sleep like shit.  Sounds like fun, right?

It’s been tough but I will keep moving forward, working towards my goal of getting to Los Angeles to perform at The Comedy Store in Hollywood in the future.  The plan is to keep getting better at the open mics and get back to the pro comedy club stage in the city.  It’s going to take a bit of work to get back to where I want to be, but in the end I know that I have your support.  At least that’s what I am hoping for.

You won’t hear from me for a while as I try to focus on the issues in front of me.  My next post should be in a couple of weeks or so.

Again, thank you all for accompanying me on this journey, for your love, wisdom, words of support and attending the shows.

This year has been difficult, however I envision my plan for 2016 and it looks pretty good.  The struggles lead to healing. Healing leads to redemption.  Redemption means you have a great testimony about the path you’ve traveled upon.

Have a safe weekend.  Be blessed.
