Yo Says Carley!

Hey welcome back! Remember to leave a comment!
Good, bad, or otherwise.

Hi guys! Welcome to Third Thought  Improv! My name is Carley and I’ve  recently completed a Level 2 class at the  Dallas Comedy House! (Holla!)

So first  let me tell you a bit about myself.    Ready…Set…Go!

The name’s Carley, as I said. I’m  seventeen, I love comedy, I’m a pastor’s  daughter, I’ll be attending El Centro  community college next year!

People who inspire me as far as comedy goes are Eugene Mirman, Will Farrell, loving everyone on SNL right now, Daniel Tosh, Kathy Griffin – HAULT! Let me explain. I love the way she talks to her audience. She does her stand-up in such a way that it’s like she’s having a conversation with friends, I love it. – Michael McDonald (MAD tv), and Mo Collins (also MAD tv).

My dream is to be on SNL, but I’m just going to keep that in the back of my head. Why Saturday Night Live? Because it’s probably the most watched sketch comedy show on t.v. and they’ve continued for 35 seasons to cast very talented people. I think it would be a huge accomplishment to be a cast member, not to mention I would have a blast.

It would be a great way for me to make people laugh! I am all about making people laugh. Laughter is absolutely the best thing in the world, it helps people forget about their problems and laugh at themselves as well as all of the ridiculous things that would normally irritate us. My goal in improv, stand-up, sketch comedy, and whatever else I try out in the next few years will be to say what’s on everyone’s minds and talk about it! (The things that not everyone is open about, but not inappropriate or weird stuff.)

Our Level 3 class with begin January 3rd; I’m totally having withdrawl right now from not being in class. So now we’ve reached the part in my note where I brag on Dallas Comedy House a bit. -NOW- The staff is wonderful! Amanda Austin, Clay Barton, Raymond Fischer, Kyle Austin, and Cody Dearing are all informative coaches.

These guys are super friendly, super hilarious, great Great GREAT teachers. They have snagged their own building in Deep Ellum recently and are currently fixing it up and a grand opening is expected in January! I look forward to watching it grow and bring Deep Ellum back like I know it will.

So I’ve always loved comedy, I would say that my dad has had a big part in making me fall in love with it. He’s always encouraged me and brought out the best in me, he’s the greatest Father in the world. I hit the jackpot! So why improv? I wish I could remember. I’ve been involved in theatre throughout Junior High and High School.

I knew I wanted to do stand-up in the future, and I figured improv classes would help! So I’m looking, I’m looking- not finding anything that cool on the internet. Then, eureka! I found the Dallas Comedy House and now it’s my home away from home. I plan on taking every class they have to offer.

That’s enough for now, I don’t know how you managed to get through all that! Look forward to seeing Theresa, Kim, Teevee, Joe, Daniel and Kristen on the 3rd! Oh and not to mention the others!

They’ve actually combined two level 2 classes to make one big eleven person level 3 class! So I will be seeing Joshua, Nick, LaShaunda, and Stacey then too! Teevee and I will keep everyone posted on the details of our next showcase which will be at the new Dallas Comedy House fo sho! 2645 Commerce St. in Dallas, TX!

Love,

Carley
