Today is big. It’s the culmination of summer nights spent indoors, neglected friends who think I hate them, and randoms in LA coffee shops who’ve helped me answer the big question: Is this funny?
It’s my stand-up comedy debut.
On stage.
Under lights.
In front of people.
I have jokes that will offend the men I’ve dated, jokes that will offend hippies, jokes that will offend all religions, and, mainly, jokes that will offend my mother. The one thing that all these jokes have in common is that I’m not sure they are funny.
I have spent the entire summer writing them. And rewriting them. And then second-guessing them. And then rewriting again. And I still don’t know if they’re funny. I guess we’ll see when I’m on stage in front of 50 of my friends. If they don’t laugh, then I’ll finally know that my friends are dumb.
One thing I know that’s funny for sure is that, while absent-mindedly eating a PBJ sandwich today, I chewed it into the shape of a terrier. This was not intentional. My teeth are just natural artists.
That’s funny, right?
Is it? I don’t know.

May this be only the first of many knock out performances, mainly because i'd like to be there next time. And oh…you might want to give a little more notice when you're performing!
You ARE funny, so it can only be a funny show. Just be you.

That sandwich is hilarious!! I SOOOO wish I could be in L.A. to cheer you on! I so admire you for taking this big step. I would absolutely LOVE to try stand-up! I can't wait to hear how it all goes. Can I find you on YouTube yet?? Yay, Laurenne!!!!!!
MAMBERT is awesome and funny! Dude, I am missing it by one night – I wish it was Tuesday!
You must tell me how it went immediately.
No, wait. I already know.
You were awesome.
P.S. Nice sandwich terrier.
Sounds utterly terrifying. I don't know whether you're good at stand up or not, but if you've got the balls to get up on stage and have a go, then you're bloody brave.
You were awesome!
Laurenne rocked the house! Shalom Mothafuckas!
I'm pissed that work made me miss this opportunity, but I hope there will be more in the future…because you are sooo funny and amazing!

Your physique has some layer of skin. You get hold of cellulite when ever fat tissue in the inner covering starts so that you can push a connective tissue at the center layer and you just get small to medium sized dimples. Women contain a much leaner skin when compared to men and thus they have an overabundance cellulite.
