Carlease's
 
Bits 'N Pieces
Free Comedy Showcase in Long Beach
August 2007
Greetings!
 
Welcome to Carlease's Bits N Pieces. 
This ezine is for comics and fans of stand-up comedy. 
I host a comedy room at Hot Java Coffee House in Long Beach every third Saturday of the month at 8PM.  The show is called Laugh-A-Latte and features a versatile blend of your favorite stand up comics.  Some are seasoned comics working out new material, some are new going up for the first time, and others are returning to the stage cause they just can't stay away. Let's not forget the fans...the audience has been building since January 2007. 
I have been interviewed by several local publications and appeared on The Paula McColm show on UTV/Charter Communications.
 
There is no cover charge, just buy a cup of coffee or two and be sure to tip your baristas.
 
This month's line-up:
 
Larry Blum
Stephanie Blum
Roz Browne (Black by popular demand!!)
Dani Duran
Lisa Holly
Mary Kennedy
Brandon Mosley
Jason Stuart

Comedy Tip of the Month
 
 
OK Carlease, so I've been gathering all this "material" and trying it out on my friends and family, but I still don't know if I'm funny.
 
"My response is simple...Did your best friend laugh? Did your boss tell you, you're in the wrong line of work?  Did your mama encourage you to try out for Last Comic Standing?  If so, you may be on to something. Here's where you get to play.  If something you think is hysterical consistently meets with silence and a confused expression, you may want to do some fine tuning. You shouldn't have to explain a joke. It's like a puzzle with two parts: the set-up (premise) and the punchline (the really funny part). Use your imagination, make the set-up clearer and/or exaggerate the punchline. Hold on to all your premises. You never know where you'll find that missing piece."

Carlease is Young & Restless.  Again.

Carlease on headset 
After a ten year hiatus as a nurse on The Young & The Restless, Carlease returns as Prison Official Baxter on episodes scheduled to air on Sept. 4th and 5th on CBS. Apparently the nurse decided to make a career change and went back to school to major in criminology.  (It could happen!!) 
Set your VCR's, TIVO's and DVR's to see for yourself...
