I'll Hurt the Show...

So I found something I probably wasn't supposed to find, but I did. When you see your name on paper, you can't help but read it. Why am I mentioned? Once I saw who was involved in the exchange of words, I knew what it was about.

I got booked for a show a while back, and apparently, unbeknownst to me, it upset a few people. They felt I was not worthy of a spot in the show. The spokesman for the group said,
"Kelly... has not earned her shot...and it's going to hurt your show." "...Kelly McCarron is not ready for a Punchline audience. I promise you...she will hurt the show."

Why say my whole name? That puzzled me. You've already established that I'm the one who you're talking about. Adding my last name- that makes it, in the eyes of the writer, a cold concrete fact. I found that interesting.

"...(booking Kelly) it's foolish, it put a SEVERLY bad taste in the mouths of others..."

That's fine. Really. I've known about this for a while now; though seeing the words on paper- that's a bit different. I was really mad that I had let this get to me. It didn't hit me til about a month after that show happened. It wasn't what was said, have your opinions, it was that I let my performances be affected. Everyday I'm getting better. No one can deny that.

By the way, I had a good set that night, and a lot of the audience came to me afterwards and told me they enjoyed it.

Please, continue to root against me. Tell me I can't do it. Let me know what you really think.

It makes me more determined.

Welcome to the ass end of SF area comedy... where politicking meets douchebaggery...

All that matters is the person who signed you on had faith in your readiness.
