Greetings!
LAUGH-A-LATTE CELEBRATES 3 YEARS!!
Laugh-A-Latte celebrated its 3rd anniversary at the Hot Java Coffeehouse in Long Beach, CA on January 16th, 2010. Pictured above is the cake with a photo of last year's cake on it. It's a cake within a cake on a cake. Ken and Sergio (owners of Hot Java) are even wearing the same color shirts. Let's see how long we can keep that traditional going. Hot Java owners and baristas, Ripples owner John, and the bakery went all out for this momentous occasion. The place was packed and we had a star studded line-up of comics. You're always guaranteed a full of evening of fun at Laugh-A-Latte.
The show takes place every
third Saturday of the month and includes first-time comics as well as stand-up veterans from LOGO and Comedy Central. An
always versatile gourmet blend of comedians perform to standing room
only audiences for the price of a cup of coffee, a pastry or a
sandwich. Laugh-A-Latte is produced and hosted by Carlease! a comic and
an actress seen in commercials, TV shows and films such as The Terminal, In Her Shoes and The Back Up Plan. She travels and hosts on Olivia Cruises as well as Pride Festivals all over the country.
Ken and Sergio say
the locals look forward to the monthly comedy show and have started
arriving an hour early to get a seat.
Come on down
and LAUGH-A-LATTE on October 16, 2010.

Mary was with us from the very beginning of Laugh-A-Latte and we will miss her gorgeous smile and infectious laughter. We may not see her in her second row seat, but we will always feel her presence. THANK YOU MARY FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FRIENDSHIP

Ask Stage Mom
|
Dear Stage Mom,
I have been building a successful career in show business here in Los Angeles for the past 25 years. Some would say I'm at the peak of my career but I feel that there's so much more to come. I am suddenly faced with taking care of a close family member who lives 3,000 miles away. How do I keep the balance between my life and my family member's? Will I have to give up my career?
~Afraid To Ask
Dear ATA, Wow. That's a tough one and difficult to answer. No one can tell you how to make a decision like that. In a perfect world, it would be nice if you could take care of your family member AND continue to nurture your career. I can imagine this is more about what's the right thing to do as opposed to what you feel like doing. However, when you do the right thing, I believe it will feel right. Maybe you just haven't gotten that far yet.
If you pray, pray. If you chant, chant. Write it out, talk to out, go the therapy if you have to but don't try to do this alone. This is going to take a village. Remember the airline speech..."put the oxygen mask on yourself first!"
BE A STAR WHERE YOU ARE!
Email your questions about acting, comedy, solo show production or any aspect of show business to bitsnpieces@verizon.net and I'll answer them in the next months's Ask Stage Mom.
THE TRUTH IS IN THE JOKE |

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