Ok, here is the link to my set at the Hollywood Improv.
I had so much fun, and I can’t wait to do it again. It sucks because I got some bad advice right before I left for the venue. My sister told me I needed to keep my hair down. I never ever ever leave my hair down. I told her I didn’t want to because I would fuck with it. She said it would be ok because then I wouldn’t be messing with the microphone. Well stupid me I left it down. I was nervous on stage but my hair playing made me look even more nervous than I was. The cardinal rule is to not do anything out of the norm when you are doing something new. Well I didn’t listen to myself.
I hope you enjoy the video. I can’t wait to do it again. I know with more practice I’ll be able to get my timing down.
The whole class was amazing by the way. I was so proud of them. Everyone of them brought their A game and I was excited to be in the same show as they were. Our teacher wrote us after the show, and complimented us even more.
This is a piece of the email he sent us.
“Great job on Sunday! How do I know it was a great job? Because the sound guy at the Improv said this was the best class show he’s ever seen and even better than some of the shows he’s seen booked at the Improv. This guy has been at the Improv for over a year and is also a stand up of 10 years and probably has seen more shows than you can imagine, so this is a helluva compliment!”
So here you go. If you enjoyed my performance I would appreciate you sharing the link.

“Is your vagina located in your butt?” – this was amazing, Joy! I wasn’t at all distracted by your hair and don’t really feel like you mess with it too much – you seem comfortable, like a true natural. You’re so at ease up there – wow. Bow down bitches.

Great job Joy. I could never go up on stage like that.

OMG Joy – you rock my dear!! I so needed the laughs tonight too! But you were so awesome, I gave my 17 year old another thing to put on his future therapy he’ll never be able to afford list (his fault, he wanted to know what I was laughing like a hyena about,) and then I made him wake my husband up to watch it again with me too. (“She’s pretty damn funny and quite a looker too” – high praise even if it doesn’t quite look that way when typed. He also mentioned it took balls to get up there and do that. 🙂 Honey, did you not pick up on the 3 boys and husband? She’s got more balls than any woman should have to have. 😉 )
Not like I didn’t already love ya, but that was fantastic! We want more!

Yay! I’m so glad you liked it. Believe me my kids will be in therapy forever. It’s funny that your hubby thought I was a looker because I swear we’re related. Lol

Joy! Great job 🙂 I feel you, the more stand up sets you do, the better you feel about it…confidence booster for sure. That’s where I’m at too…I started participating in the open mic scene here in Auckland, New Zealand (way smaller than the American scene, but plenty of opportunities).

Good for you. And I completely agree. I’m doing an open mic tonight, and I’m trying to find more stage time
