2013 is right around the corner! So I have to take a minute to say thank you to everybody.
Here in New York we comedians are surrounded by so many talented, funny people. I feel lucky to be in such great company. I'm so fortunate to have this bank of talent to draw on. I can see amazing comedians seven nights a week anywhere I care to look. And, if I need help, these people are always there for me. One facebook status, one email, one phone call, and I get what I need. I love what I do (even though I made more money in JA with our overpriced "art" prints) but what keeps me in this, besides the demented compulsion to be liked by everyone, are the people that I meet and get to know and sometimes even get to work with.
Thanks to everyone that helped me through this hilarious roller-coaster ride in 2012. Here's a partial list (I know its incomplete, I'm truly sorry if I missed you) of the people that have offered me stagetime/pay/encouragement/advice/cookies:
