On Thursday I went to a local comedy club to support my friend, who was competing to be North Carolina's Funniest Comic. This was the first round of the competition, and I was pleased to cheer on multiple comedy friends--folks whom I had seen perform several times while giving standup comedy a try myself this past fall. I decided that for the moment I prefer strapping on a guitar and singing melancholy songs for an audience rather than being funny for them, but I may give comedy another try in the future. Having tried it, I can say that it is a lot harder than it would seem. And my friend does it very well. By audience vote on Thursday he happily advanced to the next round of competition, and I look forward to cheering him on again!
