My funny bit

I came up with a comedy bit for my stand-up yesterday that I really like a lot. Usually when I come up with an idea for a bit I will fit it into a blog somewhere and see what kind of a response I get but I like this one so much, I don’t want [...]

Barefoot

Another audition today. This time it was for a Neil Simon play that’s going to Broadway in the Spring, Barefoot in the Park. Most of the roles have already been filled but they were looking for understudies and I thought understudying on Broadway ain’t too shabby. It was an Equity call (and for those of [...]

No wonder it’s free

Today I made my way uptown a bit to stop by the Performing Arts branch of the New York Public Library. Basically, this is where they keep all of their plays, musicals, music CDs, et cetera. It’s in the middle of Lincoln Center, so it was my first time walking past The Met (the outside [...]

Not the Lead

Funny story.
The short film I mentioned in my last blog? Well, I didn’t get it. Sure, it’s not the first time I haven’t gotten a part, but it IS the first time I got a callback and before I could even show up for the follow-up audition find out that I didn’t get it. Ha!

I found a [...]

Subway Etiquette

I’m still pretty new here in the city and the thrill of the subway hasn’t yet worn off, although I do have a question about rules of behavior while riding the train.
Let’s say I’m on the subway and it’s crowded. I am sitting next to strangers on either side and on my merry way. Soon, [...]

Inquiring Minds Wanna Know

Yesterday as I was walking down 45th street on my way to the library I passed a very interesting scene. In front of a theater (I forget which one) there were two men clearly arguing over something with a cop. The men were both very nicely dressed, one in a black designer suit. I couldn’t [...]

“Labor” Day

I love that it is called Labor Day, yet on this day everyone takes off work.
Things here have been going well. I have been working at the mutual fund company I mentioned earlier and that is cool. Working nights keeps me open to hit auditions during the day and they have a pretty flexible schedule. [...]
