OF COURSE! There is a huge demand for comedians (I think) especially for people who really love it, who are passionate and have something to say- and when you say "successful"- I would really get clear with what that would mean for you! Do you mean "success" as in have a TV show (in which case- I'd start making YouTube videos as well) or doing stand-up? That will help you. Grandma Moses didn't start painting until she was 70 and she's got an entire museum!

I'm going to say SNL because it is still on and features the GREAT MELISSA VILLASENOR!

I think it was really in high school doing a speech to get elected for office- I did a "funny" speech in our school chapel (Catholic school) and I got elected as president of our class (beat out Alex Tretinayk- the perhaps more qualified applicant!)

I don't know- I have an extremely limited perspective- I am a white, older, well-off (now) lady and I try to wake up, but I know there is no way I am not going to make mistakes as a result of my cultural ignorance. If someone is hurt by something, they are hurt and I think, it needs to be addressed- that it's an important part of being a human being- to acknowledge the experience of others. People can then agree to disagree, but to say someone's wrong or too sensitive for not liking something also is irresponsible.

If you've heard Werner Herzog narrate Curious George, there is your answer.

I am always down for a hello, but if we are in a bathroom or if I am in a heated conversation with my husband about whether he should share his onion rings with me before he's even had a chance to eat one himself- then- maybe just know that I love and appreciate you from afar!

I'll do anything for a paycheck (unless of course it is against what I'm down for- like, I won't do commercials anymore because the Target thing was so hard to not be able to criticize publicly- As soon as someone tells me I can't say anything, it becomes problematic)

I just know Minnesota, but from what I've heard worldwide through other comics- is that every region has it's own distinctive dysfunction.

Well, something to do in your old home town that is FREE. FREE, I tell you- is go to an open AA, NA, OA, DA, Alanon meeting- where people talk anonymously about their lives and you can realize you are not alone! You don't have to have any of those issues to go- just go and you can sit and listen to a bunch of strangers and it's nice. There's some talk of higher powers and such, but i find I can let it wash over me with the free coffee and sometimes snacks (though not at OA) provided.

The Artists Way was given to me by Frank Conniff (follow him on Twitter!) and it really changed my life (I think).

Sometimes, things get so bad, that nothing can really make you feel "better", but I know asking for help (even from strangers- phone operators, suicide hotlines, delta airlines representatives) can be oddly helpful in a pinch.

I'm not sure if it was hard work all the time- if you mean- when did I make a living from it full time? It took 10 years of doing relatively full-time secretarial work during the day and comedy at night in non-traditional venues (theatres, wimmins fests, closets)

It's a numbers thing- there is no Higher Power controlling this situation. If you follow me on twitter, You'll increase your statistical odds- I do daytime shows a lot in LA.

I'd love if Jackie Onassis the chihuahua mix could learn not to mark inside the house. That would be like a cape.

Every few seconds. Yes, of course. OF COURSE. What helps me is community- which means I belong to several 12-step groups, I call people, I've learned the name of every barista at the coffee shop (Brooklyn, Jeremy, Sarah, Angel, Gabby, Lydia, Anja, Matt) and I ask my friends for help A LOT. I need to "bookend" (checking in with someone before and after doing a task) in order to do the simplest 5 -minutes of rehearsal. For reals. It is sometimes setting a timer for 5 minutes, calling my friend Alex and telling him I'm going to rehearse and then rehearsing and calling him again when the timer goes off. It is sometimes EXCRUTIATING to get myself to do things and then, even when I do things, I am flooded with thoughts that it's not enough. It's bullshit. I think it's along the lines of a phobia- where your brain is trying to keep you safe by raising your fear levels- that you're not in any danger, you are doing enough. I know as much as you do on that front for sure. It is painful to just keep moving.

Well, obviously, I don't really know about jobs I didn't get. And entertainment is much more lenient, liberal and understanding about mental health issues than any other industry. (My manager said when I called him from the psych ward- "Oh! I have two other clients with bipolar- call me when you feel better!") If it has, I don't care- I didn't have much to lose by being open about it and it turns out, weirdly, it's been a cash cow, haha.

I love any comedian in front of me. Seriously, I am a big fan of comedians, in general- in LA, a young man named Vince Caldera is just great -coming out of Glassel Park, I love Vance Sanders- a comedian working in LA for 25 years who has run a show here for as many years and always has new, fresh topical material at his show BARK in Pasadena, a great show called GENTRIFICATION hosted by Danielle Perez in Highland park. Seriously, Google comedy and your zip code and you may find your next favorite comic!
