Accepting having a personality much to the disdain of some people

Haters Gonna Hate! | Dr. LaSharnda Beckwith

This week, as I reflect on my blog, I came to the realization that I have always been mentally blogging funny things. I have offered a small glimpse into my mind these past 7 weeks that I had kept to myself for 17 years. My brain holds great regard to humor, and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

Humor is subjective, and my humor is certainly not transcendent to every individual. I understand that some people would struggle to understand the things I find funny, just like I might not understand some else's sense of humor. 

With that being said, I think it's important to be kind. 

Epictetus once said: "Forgive others for their misdeeds over and over again. This gesture fosters inner ease." 

I will focus on actually doing an open mic one day. 

I probably should've written a blog on Stoicism.

PEOPLE LAUGH AT MY JOKES??????

 Hello everyone,  Although the past few days have been rough due to me becoming ill and feeling as though I would have no funny content to share for this week, it was resolved after last nights showing of "Studprod: A Sextuplet Feature". I wrote a script called "Jersey Day" about a couple from New Jersey saving a soccer team from a massive loss, and I directed a script called "Crayons" written by Junior Nathaniel Wiesbrook (B). As I sat in the very back of the North Attic overlooking the crowd I wondered if anybody would understand the humor in both my directing and my writing.  Crayons was the first show featured. Off the bat, I retained some chuckles from the audience. I was so proud of the actors for remembering their lines and stage movements. By the end of the script, I felt as though I was watching something brand new rather than something I directed, which was awesome.  The next show was the one I wrote, "Jersey Day". It was incredible to ...

😳I COSPLAYED WALTER WHITE?!😳

 Last week I emailed the head of the champaign comedy scene, and I have yet to hear a response. It's looking like I won't be able to do open mics around town, so now I'm going to attempt to join an improv group on campus. If they don't let me in, I'll be sharing my journey writing my stand up comedy acts and I'll post a few videos of me performing them to an audience of some sort. Anyways. This past week was Halloween. Gee, I wonder what comedic character Zoya dressed up as!  You may be asking yourself. I cosplayed the fictional drug lord Walter White from the critically acclaimed television series "Breaking Bad".  So although I wasn't able to perform stand up comedy in bars, I was able to make people laugh with my costume. I call that a mission accomplished. Come back next week to see my comedic adventures unfold.  Zoya

Zoya's Comedy Journey

  Over the next eight weeks I’m going to attempt to do stand-up sets in comedy clubs around Champaign-Urbana. I will be appealing my case to do these sets and blogging my progress because these clubs are 18+ and I'm 17. In the meantime, I will be posting funny comedy videos on social media to see how they do and if viewers enjoy my funny content. Right now, my first task is to email the head of Champaign stand up comedy to see if they'll let me perform. I’m excited to embark on my comedy journey, come back soon! Zoya
