So I am sitting here Bally's having a bite to eat. When thought crossed my mind. You need to be very careful what you ask the universe for. Because baby it delivers. But I am also learning to respect the deep sense of humor with which it opporates too. Now we have all heard the phrase "Be careful what you wish for." I know. But it is really true. Plus the universe loves irony like I love a single malt with a side of jalapeño poppers. The kind with cream cheese not cheddar.
Ask for travel? My dad had a stroke today in Cleveland and I may be leaving. Ask for more exposure? I just got a call from a radio show host who booked me on Saturday thus thwarting my Valentine's Day plans. Luckily for me I was born with the comedian gene. Which means I would rather work than go out like a normal person. I remember seeing a clip of Jerry Seinfeld saying how he and Jay Leno were laughing at a comedian who said he needed a vacation. What? The idea was ludicrous to those two.
It's weird to me to think that Jay and Jerry are pals. Talk about opposites. The funniest man in America hanging with the unfunniest man in America. I'm not going to say who's who either. Because I have been asking the universe for a mentor forever and I don't want to burn any bridges. I know from experience. The only thing you need to be more careful of than what you ask for is what you put in writing.

With razor-sharp crowd work and improvisational skills to the rock-solid timing of a veteran performer, Michelle’s act is not to be missed!
