Just another WordPress.com site. For love or money? Immigrant in Comedy →. Is post secondary a must? January 20, 2011. I remember being 16 years old in my last year of high school and being handed the courses guide for the University of Alberta and thinking, “Don’t I get a break? 8221; I was an academic student with good marks, but I had no interest in going to University. Correction. I have no interest in going to University- at least not yet. And how the hell am I supposed to know what to take? Tuition...

Just another WordPress.com site. Are all slurs created equal? Is post secondary a must? For love or money? January 17, 2011. 8221; and all hell broke loose. I was bombarded by other Comedians who immediately challenged my dedication and passion to comedy. I was pretty much called out as a sell out and a bitch because I work for Yuk Yuks. Http:/ www.yukyuks.com/location.aspx? Which brings me to my question. Am I in it for the love or money? When any of us do a show there are any number of parties that can...

Just another WordPress.com site. North America and Beauty. Are all slurs created equal? What is the point of a horror movie? January 16, 2011. Maybe I am alone in this but I don’t understand the point of a horror movie. Aren’t there enough horrors in life? I get a horror every month it’s called rent. My life is hard enough with our having to worry about a psychotic cannibal that just escaped from jail. And I start to ask, “What is it about fictional violence that is so appealing? I remember sitting next ...

Just another WordPress.com site. Is post secondary a must? Racist Tram Lady →. December 4, 2011. So I write this blog during the Christmas season which in England is a rough time for Comedians and I often find myself in a dilemma when it comes to gauging the political climate when it comes to deciding which material is appropriate. I will start by explaining that I am a foreigner so I am sometimes culturally unaware. In short I have been getting an unusual response from audiences lately. I also know thes...

Just another WordPress.com site. Sexism in Comedy…YES STILL. A bigot comes out of the closet. →. December 11, 2011. Racial outbursts are not a new thing but now a days the stigma of being a racist implies a lower social standing. So we often hear I’m not racist being followed by outrageous racist behaviour. The sad thing is that they are more concerned with the stigma of being called racist than they are about marginalizing an entire group of people. People are offended that this woman SAID what she did&...

Just another WordPress.com site. Newer posts →. North America and Beauty. January 14, 2011. I love it how in North America we consider inconveniences such as acne tragic circumstances. I thought everyone got acne, a normal bi product or puberty. But no. I was watching an acne infomercial and the people in the commercials were going on about how acne ruined their lives. Not everyone in this world can be stereotypically “beautiful”. And isn’t beauty in the eye of the beholder anyways? I don’t think t...

It is no secret that people are starting to kick off about that lack of diversity in comedy. In my job I am basically considered an alien. If you are not male, white, middle class, heterosexual or British you are quickly resigned to the “other” section. Sound familiar? This use to be ours. I came to Britain with a visa not a gun. It’s been catastrophic for us a...

Just another WordPress.com site. What is the point of a horror movie? For love or money? Are all slurs created equal? January 17, 2011. In the article that I read the columnist Campbell Clark does NOT use the word “nigger” when referencing the discussed ban of the word in “Huckleberry Finn”, but instead says ”. A slur referring to black people. 8220; Ironically he had no problem using “faggot” in the same article. A double standard perhaps? I wonder how many white people he offended? For love or money?
