Got Any Good Jokes?!

OK, I'm going to tell you something pretty funny.  Hilarious, actually.  You're going to laugh, which is good considering what I'm about to tell you.
Do you remember the "Bucket List" blog that I wrote several months ago?  Check out #16, "perform stand up comedy on amateur night".  Well, my friend, Josh, knew about #16 and now, he's holding me to it.  For the first time in my life, publicly, I will perform a 10 minute stand-up routine.  I don't have a writer, I can't copy Ellen Degeneres or any other comedianne which means I have to come up with my own material!  There are 9 comedienne's on the roster and I'm the only female!  When I told my family what I was doing, they laughed so hard I thought they were going to pee in their pants.  So, I guess you could say, I've already been funny.  I know they're scared for me, but I think secretly they are still laughing behind my back every time they think about it.

I'm bringing the family, lots of friends and I've even invited strangers, actually begged them, to come.  I figure with enough people there cheering me on and laughing at me, even when I'm not funny, noone will notice.  Am I crazy?  Probably, but it's for charity.  You only live once, right?  I plan on sharing stories about my Granny.  I've always said she's a walking Cheech & Chong episode.  I hope they love her crazy antics as much as I do. 

That's right, this Sunday night at 7:30 pm central time, Victoria Laktash will be hitting the stage in Tennessee.  
God help me.

Dina, it went awesome! Better than I could have ever imagined. I had a blast and look forward to doing it again one day. Another check off my Bucket List and it feels great! Thanks for asking.
