Last night, Carrie Callahan, Anna Hall and I had the pleasure of performing stand-up for University of Chicago students, at a show hosted by the Feminist Majority group.
The audience wasn't huge, but they were so receptive and fun to perform for. Entering that stage, I felt like a comedian, rather than a "female comedian". Did I mention there was free thai food? What else could we have asked for?
Of course, it didn't hurt that I was sandwiched between rockstars Carrie and Anna. They both worked wonders with the audience, and I had the joy of slipping in and "pretending" to be a real comedian (how I felt after my stand-up hiatus).
Here's a video of Carrie (not from last night), who performs at various showcases around Chicago, including Chicago Underground Comedy.
All things gender, feminism, humor, social justice, kittens on treadmills...

Note to Self: Only Perform for Young Feminists and Free Thai Food
