After a few months of doing bellydancer-related material, I saw a set by old pal and comedic inspiration, Marc Maron at the Cornelia Street Café, where he told the heartbreaking and hysterically funny story of "The Chair that Ruined His Marriage."
So I put together what I had first conceived as a 15-minute solo short about a recent heartbreak, that would be best presented in theatrical settings like Cheryl King's Stage Left series, Forbidden Kiss.
When I workshopped it, however, I found it had potential as stand-up, so I pared it down to a spare narrative, punched up the laugh lines and presented it to an unsuspecting audience at the NY Comedy Club.
Here is the result. Enjoy!!
