Happy to have 3 of my sketches be a part of Taste Better Wit’s Ad Nauseam show which ran from June 14 to June 23 at Bindlestiff Studio, SF. Each writer’s work is so good, I know I’m just lucky to have my stuff share the same stage. I’m still learning, but since it’s in comedy, I’m having fun with it.
- Spam Scam – Two thugs confront the person they gave money to after getting an email from a Nigerian Bank.
- Meow Meow Sixth – A couple contemplates the future for their unborn daughter into a career in Pornagraphy.
- The Petitioner – A battle of the wits as a petitioner lures a voter to sign a list of frivolous petitions.
One of the best lessons in writing sketch is to listen for the pops… if there are any. But it’s there – the laughs or the silences. I know where the laughs should be and if there aren’t any, lesson learned and hopefully can be corrected for the NEXT story I write.
I can’t thank Taste Better Wit enough for giving me a chance to have my work put out in front of an audience. I learned a lot from the experience and even though I know that comedy isn’t my strength, they’ve constantly believed in me enough to put my work out there. And I know that I’m getting better with each try and I know that my development as a playwright could not be done without them!
