standup class update: apparently the final for this class (and the thing we'll be working towards all semester) is crafting a fucking twenty-minute standup set??? as someone who has literally never done standup in front of people before this is terrifying but also exhilarating let's fucking gooooo!!!!!

#i'm like the only person in that class who's never done standup lmao but the professor isn't worried about me at all #especially bc he like actively encourages character standup (basically like kith style monologues) and other experimental stuff #like multimedia things and music #and i've done some pretty good powerpoint-comedy before and i've been working a lot on writing comedy songs recently #so i'm like ok cool for someone who's used to doing standup this experimental stuff might sound daunting #but for someone like me i'm like ok if i don't have to be myself 100% of the time. like if i can rely on a powerpoint and throw in a song #and do parts of it as aubrey or some of my other sketch characters #then this will be a very fun one-jess show #also this professor is a kith fan so i'm very much able to play that card with him lmao #i was actively trying to avoid namedropping kith during my introduction but when i mentioned i was in toronto this summer #he just jumped in like ''ZE'S WORKING FOR THE KIDS IN THE HALL!!!'' and i was like ok cat's out of the bag lmao #i also had my first class for advanced improv today which was very fun. i had this professor last semester and it's mostly the same student #so it's nice hanging out with them all again #however there is one casually transphobic lesbian in the class who's kind of my nemesis at this school and wasn't there last semester #but like. she's more standup and i'm more improv so i'm like honey you're in MY territory now and in improv we LOVE AND SUPPORT each other
