Philosophy
My Fellow Comedists,
Got a show coming up this Wednesday evening at Gettysburg College, 8-10 p.m. at the Junction. Along with Karen Land from the theater department, we've been teaching two students in an independent study course this semester on writing and performing stand-up comedy. Their final exam is in the shape of a show that I am MCing. Along with our sets will be three professional comics. Drink Till We're Funny's T. Brad Hudson will headline, and the features will be Ayanna Dookie, fresh off an appearance at the DC Improv, and the winner of the 2009 Baltimore funniest person, Dorian Gray.
The show is free and should be an absolute blast, so if you are in the area, come on out and see us.
