I’m putting the finishing touches on my bit tonight, and trying to commit it all to memory. The week in Ireland meant two missed classes, and I didn’t get up on the stage on my last class before the trip. And, the last time I did get up on stage, I hadn’t prepared adequately after we skipped a week of classes.

Long and short of it is that the last time I got up on stage with any amount of material I was prepared for was October 22. Ha! Clearly, I’m insane.

But, I like my bit. I feel pretty good about it, it’s got a fair amount of chuckles and some good solid laughs in there. I just need to work on the closer — I’m not happy with that at all. But, that’s what tonight is for.

Wish me luck. For anyone reading this in Chicago who wants to see the show, check out the details.
