Tonight I did my first stand-up gig ever in the US of A and it went great! I wasn’t expecting much, given that pretty much the entire room was full of comedians only, 98% of whom were men, but by the end of my set the whole room was clapping along with a couple of young African-American guys actually dancing to my song.

So with Vinka having been caught on tape (and yes Leon, as you’ve requested I will post a photo soon – I took one tonight on Liz and Andrew’s camera but alas, alack, am missing the crucial cord to upload it) and now having performed a stand-up gig in NY, I feel like two significant goals of my trip have been achieved and that a weight has been lifted. Now I can just relax and enjoy (which Liz and I did, with $3 margheritas at a nearby Mexican spot.)

Spent the rest of the night trekking over the Brooklyn Bridge (amazing views of the city) and then checked out the World Trade Centre site – very sobering.

Tomorrow is my last day of the first level of training with Second City, and once evening comes, I’m a-leaving on a jet plane to none other than…LAS VEGAS!

I do hope neon lighting is flattering.

Meanwhile, here’s a little snippet off Brooklyn Bridge. If you want it.

I acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi, Wakka Wakka and Butchulla peoples, the First Nation Traditional Owners of Country, and custodians of the land and waters on which I live and work, and all the peoples who have welcomed me on Country. I pay respects to all Elders past and present and acknowledge the young leaders who are working beside Elders in our cultural industries in the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices. I recognise all First Nation peoples as the original storytellers of these lands and acknowledge the important role they continue to play in our community.
