2022 Review
I haven’t posted in a while so here’s an entire year summary and review of my 2022
Comedy – Lots of new jokes in fact I’m ready to record a special. I’ve gone viral several times on social media too. I’m even making money off my videos now.
I’m running my own comedy club and several shows, I’m being booked to headline several places and working lots of new comedy clubs
I’m selling merch now as well and I’ve sold out a few times already.
I did a big tour around the US with many sold out shows that I put together. Was way better than the one I put together in 2021 since leaving my touring manager.
Comedy Club – more sold out shows than ever and doing best it’s ever done, growing it, big headliners, fun nights, hardcore audience, last 2 shows were sold out as I’m writing this
Film – mad a horror that I’m submitting to film festivals, made a travel vlog for when I went to Ireland and the UK, made a few sketches too. Not as many as the last year but I’m focusing now on quality over quantity
Fitness – can now do squats and deadlifts without pain and I’m experimenting with running again
Personal Training – Got in argument with the little manager guy at the gym trying to throw his weight around (130 lbs at the max) so I decided to move all my clients to my garage gym. The dude was literally yelling and getting in the face of my clients. Over things like not immediately dropping coins in the box for their water bottle.
I’ll finally finish my online course soon as well
Reading – Lots of audio books but also reading regularly on kindle as well
Dogs – I now own Waylon and Willie instead of fostering them, they couldn’t get them to NZ after all and at this point I’ve had them longer so I want to keep them.
I’m looking to get them to fully understand heeling soon.
Daily Habit – Still journaling regularly every day, and meditating. Also reading more, and learning French
Screenplay – Finished a new one with a lot of potential, but only when I’m fully focused and have it as a top priority will it be great
Traveling – Went to Ireland and UK and had a great time performing there.
Acting– I now have a Hollywood agent but haven’t booked any audition as of yet
Best Things Overall – Viral on social media, Getting Paid for Videos, Ireland and UK trip, Running a Comedy Club, My new PC, and great new jokes.
Catching up on TV – Watched Sopranos, The Wire, Black Sails, and the Harry Potter movies for the first time. All good, except Harry Potter. But at least I get the references now.
Worst Things
Kill Tony appearance. I had a great set but they wanted to roast me regardless and pretend I bombed. I even had the audience defend me. They ended up pity booking me for the Secret Show which pissed me off but I tried to hide it.
I did it and went on at the end of a 3 hour show and crushed it. Maybe set of the night. But never got asked back. I do use the tape for submissions to shows.
Austin Comedy Competition – Despite having the set of the night (running theme here), and the first 2 judges giving me the highest score at that point the owner of the Creek hated me for no reason and gave me a low score. The whole crowd booed her which was cool. I use a tape of that as well. All the comics and audience ask what I did to piss her off. I’ve never talked to her before.
Covid – Killed my grandpa and one of my best friends but that was technically 2021. Though I haven’t really blogged since then.
Down times at Club – Not every night is sold out and there were some times I got too cocky and booked expensive headliners for 20 people and went deep in the red. I’ve learned a lot since then.
So overall a great year.
2023 focus
Become huge on social media. I want to tour the world. Many videos and already gone viral and my sketches get such great response that I feel I can do it if I focus.
Special – I’ll semi-retire this set and use clips for social media. It’ll also make me write new material even faster
Europe again – Either UK, Netherlands, or France. Possibly Ireland again since I got contact there as well.
Upload course – Finally get this fitness course thing done. Making it a priority.
Podcast? – I’ve been asked about it and I think I may finally do it this year. No more overthinking it
Acting career – I want to book a big audition for a show or movie, so I’ll put more effort into this aspect of my life.
2024 and Beyond
Novel – I’ve written the first draft of 2 different novels. But I’d need time to fully prioritize these like the screenplay so this will get bumped to another year.
Make a videogame – This will get bumped as well most likely. I have a course about making them, and love to stay home and just edit, but my comedy career is seemingly only getting more momentum.
New Movie – Eventually but not 2023. Not going hard on a big project unless I know there’s a want for it
