Dear Caroline,

Great piece as always!

Great advice here:

"Research the show you want to perform at and apply for a gig exactly as they specify"

"Don’t badger people if they don’t get back to you"

"Be patient and kind"

"Try not to be a delusional maniac"

Also this is very funny and I'm sorry it happens:

"I now run mostly improv and thematic shows, and I periodically get DMs from stand-up dudes asking for a spot? At our all-female improv show?"

Thank you for sharing it all!

Love

Myq

Caroline, I don't like rants. As if it Was worth the effort trying to boil the ocean and educate the world. But for some reason I enjoy reading your rants. They are like rants with benefits. Keep it up! And thanks for that basement stand up comedy training from some years ago in that Berlin basement! Cheers.
