Comedy


My friend Bryan invited me to one of his improv shows today. It was at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Hollywood. Two comedy groups performed improv skits for about 30 minutes, each group had seven members. They were fantastic. It's not easy to be funny. And even harder to be funny to strangers.

Ever since I was a kid, I had always appreciated comedy. I think it's the most universal form of art. Bryan had encouraged me to take comedy or stand-up classes with him. I never did...just as I never got to learn to play a musical instrument, join a dance team, or learn to draw. Oh, how I wish I can take more non-traditionally academic classes.
