Gareth,
Hey Honey I am SO excited for you!!! Breakin your "Comedic Cherry" is such a SPECIAL thing

Before you go on, take a deep breath and once you're on stage take a few seconds to make eye contact with the crowd before you begin your material. Then once you begin, don't feel like you have to rush through it and if you happen lose your place, it's OK just take a sip of water or pause for a second it'll come back. Just remember to be yourself, stay TRUE to who YOU are & have FUN up there--God will take care of the rest.
Man Gareth I wish I could be there to see you break your cherry. I really, really do cause it is such a SPECIAL moment in a comics life---it'll change you in ways you never thought possible. From that moment on, you are going to be able to make a CONNECTION with people that most human beings will never experience and THAT is the GIFT of stand up. Savor every minute honey
SINCERELY
Luchia

SweetLuchia,
thanks much!
although... i bet popping mmy comedic cherry will be a much better experience than poppin my real one. and even if it is just as bad, and short lived... at least my balls wont hurt the next day!
