I'm writing this blog just to keep everyone updated, as a lot of cool stuff is going on right now. I made it into PHIT house team King Friday, which I am ecstatic about!! Funny thing is, there was a moment when I was like, "Eh, I'll just skip this audition and go to the next one...". That just goes to show, an opportunity is an opportunity...if you pass it up, you don't have a chance at all. And I'm really glad my brain shot that one down a few seconds after I considered it, cause I am so psyched!! First performance is June 25th, 9:30PM, Shubin Theater, so be there for the premiere of two new members, Shannon Devido, and me-self!!
Another cool thing that has happened- we have completed the run of our 1st ever sketch show!! LHM is now extra official I guess, cause we were Sketch-Up official, and then FB official, and now...official official?? I like it. We did a two show run in the SoLow Festival, and Andrea and I wrote the show completely, and had some friends join in the fun and lend their ad-libbing, tech, choreography, and funny skills, and a true colaborative effort was born. And boy was it fun. We had dancing (Claireography), good tunes, slideshows, videos, costumes, props...I'm still a bit baffled that it's come and gone, as it seemed like yesterday that we met in a coffee shop after Women in Comedy Bootcamp was over, realized we had a very similar sense of humor, and decided to give it the old go!! Now, we are Local Holiday Miracle. Somewhere in between, a show happened. Crazy. Awesome. Crazy awesome!!
It won't let me upload the vids on here, but check out our FB page for clips from the show:

Other highlights of these past few weeks have been my best friend getting engaged, workshopping with Scott Adsit and Christina Gausas (thanks to PHIT), invading NYC with Lis and Laura for some Glee tour nerdiness (and frozen hot chocolate of course), and just catching up with and being surrounded by awesome people who make me laugh and smile!! The warm weather helps lift the spirits as well...
Also, this is very important to me- PHIT is trying togain a permanent home, so you should check out their fundraising campaign, and help out if you can!! Every dollar helps!! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/maughangl/create-a-home-alternative-comedy-in-philly Thank you for checking it out and supporting the cause in advance :-) TO COMEDY!!
