The Lytwyn

So after seeing the new Batman. I have decided I don't think he should be the only one with 'the' in front of his name. So I am now going by "The Lytwyn". I think it sounds boss. The Dark Knight was amazing. Not much of a comic bookie movie girl. But I found the story quite intricate. What of course made the film was Heath's performance. How he spoke, the laugh, his melted make up and moments created a character that was seriously disturbing but completely captivating. I loved how he would constantly lick the insides of his mouth. You should see his last performance even if it means standing in line with the kinda kids that still haven't showered since Folk Fest.

The Fringe is going well..I mean our reviews aren't amazing but I'm not really affected. I let it get to me last year..until I realized we had full crowds who laughed and enjoyed our show..and that reviews REALLY don't mean anything. I am very excited for tonight's show. Having the people that care about me there, friends, family, and stalkers. I am just trying to enjoy the very few shows we have left (4) because it goes by so fast.

I am also going to try to take in quite a few shows this weekend. It is really the only time I have and I wanna make the most of it.

Next week I am performing at Alfie's comedy club on Wednesday (30th) and then I will head to Rumor's to cheer on my friend Dan in the wildcard round of the contest. (Stalkers take note).

I still can't believe I am going to the finals for Winnipeg's Funniest Person with a Day Job. I just wanted to have one good round, to feel like I worked hard this year and I performed what I believe to be funny. To be true to myself and also confident on stage. Something I struggle with. It feels really surreal to be going onto the finals, I am in constant search of validation, and this summer I have had a few moments where I feel like comedy is where I should be. Friends and family have been so unreal through both rounds - I feel very blessed. And I'm getting my game face on for the Finals. It's so on!

Headed to England August 1st (that's 10 sleeps). It's a trip I have been dreaming about taking since I was about 14..so 10 years later it is actually happening.
I can't wait to take in the sights and catch up with old friends, that I haven't seen in almost 3 years. It feels so fast and crazy - but I know it's going to be a fierce time.

Peace.
