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 8:00 PM. The show is called Laugh-A-Latte and features a versatile blend of your favorite gourmet stand-ups. 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...we have been brewing up a packed house for over a year now!!
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, a pastry and be sure to tip your baristas.

Dear Carlease,
So much needs to be done for my career and I'm just geting started. How can I possibility know how to do everything myself?
~New to the Game
Dear New to the Game,
Here's where you learn to ask for help. You don't have to know or do everything yourself. You will start to build a support team. People who are there at various levels and in different capacities to lend a helping hand. A best friend, a colleague, a mentor, or even a bookkeeper can teach as well as inspire you. We all have gifts and strenghs in certain areas. Start to pay attention to who you to go to when you need help. And don't be afraid to delegate. If someone knows how to do something better than you, let them do it!! I had to learn that the hard way. As Steve Harvey says on his radio show: "If you're the smartest person in your group, you're in the wrong group".
Email your questions about stand up comedy to bitsnpieces@roadrunner.com and I'll answer them in the next Comedy Tip of the Month !!
THE TRUTH IS IN THE JOKE |

Looking forward to seeing you at Hot Java.
Be prepared to Laugh-A-Latte !!
Carlease!
