Yesterday a report highlighting the dangers of cured meats was released to the world and social media jumped all over it. As a family who lives off of a steady diet of hot dogs I cringed at the idea that it MAY cause cancer when I know for certainty that they DO cause campfires. I realize that we should make some adjustments to our eating habits because we love our children, but first a few jokes...
"Hey Cliff! Drop over sometime!" I have heard this all my life. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised when my audition breakdown reads "trip & drop burgers".
And that's exactly what I did.
People always ask me what comedians I like to watch. Answers include Jim Gaffigan, Louis CK, Ellen, Jerry Seinfeld, Mike Birbiglia... love them. But I have a new answer. Michael Jr Comedy. And it's not that I just want to watch him. I want to follow him. Yeah... like a real creep.
"Male. Ethnically Ambiguous. Average looking (i.e. no one will mistake him for a model). Out of shape is preferred. Shower scene so must be comfortable without his shirt on."
These were the specs for my audition. Thanks for the boost in confidence! (note the good natured sarcasm)
