I was kickin' it with my podcast girls, guesting on Grumble Mountain's podcast on UtahFM. Grumble Mountain is a podcast done by three comedians. Comedians. Three of them. Whenever I'm in the same room as a "professional" comedian, I get sweaty and intimidated. I feel pressure to be funny. Not try-too-hard funny, but just right, casual funny. It's a very stressful situation.
About halfway through recording, one of the girls turns to me and says, "I wish I was as funny as you, Joss."
I wish I was as funny as you.
I wish I was as funny as you.
I wish I was as funny as you.
Holy balls, I didn't know I was looking for that kind of validation. Me? Rebecca?
I admire the shit out of female comedians. I long to be one sometimes. Only sometimes, I don't have the dedication to be funny 110% of the time. So, for someone to acknowledge that I am indeed funny, stirs strange emotions within me. Emotions like validation and giddiness. Also though, I'm going to feel like I'm in the room with another comedian all the time. Don't be too funny, Rebecca. Just casual funny.
But I'm doing this dance on the inside.
