Laughter is one of the best medicines for our own souls as well as for that of others. What a wonderful gift you have to be able to share your own brand of humour with others and bring so much joy! I'm glad you listened to the feedback you were being given and jumped confidently into stand-up at the school show! Is comedy something that you continued to pursue in life? Did you ever do any stand-up as an adult?
As a creative non-fiction piece, this story would have lifted off the page a bit more if you had introduced a little more show than tell. Check out this Ink Well article for some more guidance.
Thank you for sharing a story from your life in The Ink Well.

So I just do my comedy with only friends around
