Stand-up Comedienne

I moved to New York nearly five years ago to pursue my dream of becoming a comedienne. I learned a great deal from stand up comedy over the years. There is no other art form that breaks you and builds you up at the same time. What kind of people subject themselves to recieve approval from a group of strangers? Performers are trying to win over the approval that they didn't receive from their parents or the most popular kids in high school. A healthy person has nothing to prove they can sit in a room without being the center of attention. I have been inspired by performers and also have witnessed the depths of desperation. Over the years, I have seen some of the most outrageous characters in New York City in the New York "Art Star" (term coined by Rev. Jen) scene. These are some of the most interesting characters and sociopaths I have ever met. They have inspired me to think outside the box as a comedienne.

After meeting the Art Stars, somehow stand up seemed so selfish, forced and boring. Then I started doing sketch comedy, funny dances, incorporating props and finally rollerskates into my act integrated with stand-up.

For the next few years, while I attend Columbia University, I have decided to do limited live performances and begin to build my own internet show. I worked with Peter Bernard and loved his work ethic and his love of making art. I filmed several short sketches with Peter and my first one recieved huge hits on YouTube. In the first days of being posted, I had over 15,000 hits. My sketch was rated #11 comedy in India then moved to #4 comedy in India. The ratings kept increasing and people loved the video.
Here are some statistics:

#71 - Most Viewed (Today) - Comedy - Canada#75 - Most Viewed (Today) - Comedy - United Kingdom#82 - Most Viewed (Today) - Comedy - Ireland#24 - Most Viewed (Today) - Comedy - India#76 - Most Viewed (Today) - Comedy#77 - Most Viewed (Today) - Comedy - Mexico#77 - Most Viewed (Today) - Comedy - Hong Kong#23 - Top Favorites (Today)#5 - Top Favorites (Today) - Comedy#29 - Top Rated (Today)#7 - Top Rated (Today) - Comedy#38 - Top Rated (This Week) - Comedy

Then some jealous person or uptight Asshole went and flagged my video, which resulted in youtube taking my video off of charts. I am showing no more skin than a girl would at the beach. I was amazed at how many people see a pair of boobies and try to click on them. However, once they were in, they loved the video...read the comments and watch.
I hope you enjoy it!
