Success! The show was fucking awesome. I wish all of you could have been there. The crowd was warm and appreciative, I was totally in the groove. It felt like I was right at home. Every joke was as funny as it is when I tell it in my head. Some things were even funnier. I loved every second of it. I shook when I got offstage, I was nervous before I went up and afraid I wouldn't be able to stand, but when I got up there everything was good and right.
I met lots of great people. A lot of people came up and told me that I was really funny, and I was so in my glory. An NYU professor bought me and Heather drinks and we talked for a long time. The guy who put the show together was really cool, very nice guy, a fellow Virgo and mother, and he joined us for pizza afterward and told us about himself. I still found it all exhausting, but also wonderful and exhilirating.
I am so happy I've had a good show. I feel now like I needed just one so I'd know how it feels when I'm doing it right. I think I can bring that to other shows now. I just gotta recreate that feeling.
And I am now a paid comedian! I got $15 for the show. I wasn't even expecting it, but it paid for pizza. The Transphoria show will be happening every month on the last Sunday, so if you're in New York City or near enough, plan to be at Meow Mix next month for the show. I'll be there, and because I'm a perfectionist, I will have entirely new material. I would be embarrassed to have anyone in the room have heard any of it before. This must be why working comics travel all over the country, so they can do the same act in Poughkeepsie and Portland, and chances are no one was at the last show.
I'm beat, actually aching, and miserably happy. I can't wait to do it again.
