I am a stand up comedian. I live in New York City, close to Syracuse, NY. I am from Utica, NY. I like Italian food. I like to go to street fairs. I like street food. I enjoy the summer. I do not have a college degree. I have taken a 1.5 month vacation from work.
I live in Vermont. I practice photography. I visit upstate NY. I like German food. I like soup and salad. I grew up in an Italian neighborhood. I have a college degree. I passed the board exam. I am a lawyer.
I just booked a new gig at the improv house downtown. They want me to do a weekly set for the next six weeks - if I crush it they are talking about giving me a residency there! That's great news! Will your family be able to visit from Utica to watch one of your sets? Not this time but I'm sure they will make their way out for a few of them. Congrats on your board exam by the way! Thanks! It was an uphill battle, but I'm happy to finally be able to put all those years of education to good use. Sometimes the job gets a bit stressful, but taking time out for myself to take pictures and enjoy nature helps. I agree. I love nature! My vacation was mostly out in nature but it's back to the concrete jungle for me. I will take some trips to the park while I'm here. Were you able to get out of state? Work is keeping me tethered to the east coast right now, but I would like to plan a road trip for when things are less busy. I went to Colorado and did a lot of camping and hiking. Got to see the Grand Canyon. It was pretty breathtaking. I haven't been to Colorado in years, but I remember how beautiful it was. I think I might even have some pics saved somewhere that I took around Sprague Lake. Wow! I'd like to see those. I took a few selfies while I was there. When is your vacation? You must get some pretty nice vacation time being a lawyer. It's actually much less time than you would think; although, I hope that once I'm more established I'll have a bit more freedom. For now, I feel like I have to work extra hard to prove myself to those with more experience. If all goes well, I might be able to take a week around the end of the year. Have you made any holiday plans yet? I will probably be working for the holidays. Lots of people seeking to catch a good comedy show on the holidays. Have you met any of the other comedians at the improv house yet? Any big names I might know?
