Hey guys and gals. I'm not sure what you're wanting to know of me right now, but I'm 24 years old and I have at my disoaspl a quick wit and a talent for terrible puns. While I've never put those skills to use in front of an audience (I've always preferred to embarrass myself with one or two people at a time), I've been told to pursue standup multiple times. I live in Lawrence, so while I'm a little eeeehhhh about driving to Olathe every week, I'd be willing to give it a few tries before allowing myself to be kicked out!I have a few questions for you all, but I guess this one is most important: at what time is the Tuesday night show? I've got a prior weekly engagement that normally doesn't end until 9:30/10:00-ish.Feel free to give me a text or call sometime at 316-648-7056. If I don't answer it's because I'm at work or being sexed.
