Me on a stage, telling jokes about tits

For 6 weeks worth of Thursdays I attended classes with some of the funniest people around the Mohawk Valley/Utica area. I would have paid tuition to simply sit and laugh until my sides hurt; unfortunately this was not an option. We were there to learn, write and grow. I actually spent extra time with classmates working on jokes outside of class. I didn’t know I would enjoy this as much as I did.

I signed up thinking this would help with public speaking; with my ability to speak to interact with people. I didn’t know we would be having a show! This was a real show. We performed for friends, family, our classmates and complete strangers. I can’t believe strangers paid to hear us tell jokes.

Please support the UTCA in anyway you can. Take the classes, give them your money. They’ve come a long way in a year, they have a long way to go. I can’t wait till we’ve got that big stage ready to go!
