Divine Secrets of the Ha-Ha Possehood

i'd like to broach a topic that is half-serious and half-mysterious.

some of us get into comedy because we like telling jokes.

some of us get into comedy because we like writing jokes.

and then, there's all of us who get into comedy because we want freebies.

what kinds of freebies?

  • validation (for parking)!

  • compliments (in the form of free food and drinks)!

  • money (for gas)!


  • and best of all...


  • an entourage (i.e., "friends" who love us for what we have and who we are on the outside, not so much who we are on the inside...which, let's be honest, is a work pending approval)!


  • a biker gang: solidarity in numbers and air pumps

    so baby grrl 'parna (potential new stage name) presents...

    the top 8 benefits of having a comedic entourage*

    *my entourage's current members: sharky mcgee, botox, and conjoined fashionista twins madcow-D and soy

    8 they create the illusion of feeling powerful and popular

    7.5 sharky mcgee's uncle works for a health insurance company, WINK

    7 you never need to use a coaster because the twins have an extra arm for carrying your drink at all times

    6 there's no such thing as an awkward dance move because anything you do "out on da floor" is immediately aped by 2+ other people thus instantly becoming a new trend, and/or they form a protective elephant security circle around you to prevent unwanted small talk

    5 you can get into any and all bringer shows

    4 you always had a GREAT SET

    3 hecklers will be handled with the discretion and smoothness of KGB intimidation tactics

    2 they have great ideas for bits, most of which never come to fruition, but free labor is cheap

    1 they will blog for you, as you
