The Best Relationship

Is standing at the footlights, with a crowd, unknown and that you cannot see! With smoke billowing to the ceiling. You share your Funny Stories with total strangers. Suddenly, transformation. They love your jokes instantly. Only, they were not jokes. I was totally sharing me. It's akin to falling in love. You absolutely are fearless! You just let go! Then you and the audience become one in festive fun. November 22, 2019 ***Panagiota~ retired stand-up Comedian:Chicago and S.F. Credits to my comedy teachers: Tom Dressen- Comedian;opening act for Sinatra Tim Reed-" WKRP in Cincinnati"***

Tom still mentions Harvey! I studied at Second City for two years,was a cocktail waitress there to fund my way through classes,too. Glad to hear your niece is into Improv. It's marvelous. Tim was so sweet and understanding, he looked nothing like Venus Fly Trap. Both Tim and Tom were conservative and neat dressers. We spent hours together after shows. Really miss those two. So glad to know about your niece. Panagiota
