I've been going through a life's crisis for
About 45 years....
I keep waiting to become famous. And waiting and waiting.
In my thoughts last night, I was thinking about how much energy I put into the show/play I'm in The Speakeasy (http://www.thespeakeasysf.com check it out clowns ). I have spent my life obsessing about my own performance. My performance in circuses, in doing a commercial, filming my video blogs. Writing.
I have put almost all my emotional energy completely into The Speakeasy.
We are coming up on two years. And I'm wondering, what exactly is my goal. You know as a clown.
I dug out a book I had been working on Snotty Comebacks for kids. I find it incredibly funny. I began reading them and rewriting them. Then working on more jokes.
If I were to get this published my goal would be to become a character like Lemony Snicket. (A Series of Unfortunate Events).
My son and I went to see Davis Sedaris on Tuesday night. I loved it. I could see how he managed the audience the interactions and how he read his stories and took questions from the audience. Not only an incredible writer but adept and making each moment seem special to the audience of 2500.
It's a skill I have on stage. It's the joking skill.
I'm lucky enough to have met Lemony Snicket. He lives in San Francisco with his kids. My kids used to go see him when they were little do talks.
I'm writing and thinking. This is what I want to do/be.
I'd like to be the king of snotty comebacks. To create a character for stage that talks to large groups.
Hmmm.
More to come.
