Boulder Fringe Festival Post-Show Diary

I'm writing this from the comfort of bed with a jolt of energy still coursing through my veins. I'm coming down from the anticipation and excitement of performing. I just performed the first show in my very first Fringe Festival and I had no idea what to expect. It's hard to recount the show from an unbiased perspective, I usually know when I do bad. I had fun and that's really all that matters to me. If I leave saying what I wanted in an honest and fun manner then I did what I wanted to do. There will be another show tomorrow at 8:45 PM and I presume it will be similar and wildly different than tonight. I always seem to want to try something new.

Tomorrow after the show I will be on the Late Night With Fringe: Hosted by Ian Gibbs. It will be live streamed for people who cannot make it.

I've been slacking on blogging, podcasting and being public all together. I do so because I find my privacy to be an important part of gestating stories and ideas. Logging everything I do just doesn't work from me, however, I will be better on that front.

Thanks for reading, hope to see you there.

(UPDATE June 2025) So… I said I’d keep up with blogging. I didn’t. In fact, this was the only entry I ever wrote for the whole Fringe. One lonely blog post. And now, six years later, I’m finally circling back — because I’m realizing that having a record of these weird, vulnerable, electric moments is actually worth something.

For a long time, I didn’t see the value in having a blog. I thought it was self-indulgent, or homework. But I’ve come to appreciate it as a way of making sense of a career that doesn’t follow a straight line. I also found that people genuinely want to know how these things work and want to support me. This show was the beginning of me figuring out how to perform an hour solo. It was messy, experimental, and full of heart. And it deserves to be remembered.

So here’s me doing the thing I swore I’d do more of: writing about it. Welcome back to the blog I abandoned and am now resuscitating like a defibrillator to the chest. Let’s keep going.
