Peace!
I'm back at it. Let's chat.
On October 31st of 2023, Jesslyn Blue Tarot was booked to read tarot for the comedic event, "Marley & Esther Are Psychics!" This was at Union Hall in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. A truly dope spot. It was a comedy show where they wanted to throw in some divination to the mix. Surprised? I was definitely thrilled. As a comedy improver who performed and studied with LA Connection Theater, an actor, and a tarot reader, I felt like this was a little slice of heaven.
Who else would want to use all three of those skills that I have, at once? It doesn't happen very often, I will tell you that.
(Sidebar: I did blend acting with tarot reading for the Mongo DB booking, but only in terms of reading the script for the promotional video and staying in character as I genuinely read the tarot cards.)
The show took place in the basement of the venue, so Brooklyn, so New York, love it. It is a small world down there with one bar and lavish red curtains and the stage... with the lights shining and ready to go.
When I arrived, I knew where I was going. I've attended a comedy show here in the past. There were some people there, chatting in the seat, but not a packed house... yet.
Mingling backstage was all good vibes and show prep. We hyped each other up and made sure we knew our cues, times, etc.
Something told me the house was going to be packed...
And it was.
They even had a comedian who headlined his own Comedy Central special. Go on with your bad self.
I'm comfortable on stage. It's been enough years that it could be called a second home. My mama always said I had something to say. So when the time came to jump up on stage and riff with the hosts with the most, it was great!
Everyone wants to know their future, even comics.
Even audience members.
Although, sir, who came on stage, I'm sorry to have to tell you that about your mother-in-law. Wish it was different, but it will be a growing experience. Maybe you both can find a middle ground.
I hope that information helps calm the storm.
Of course, once my portion ended, I stayed to watch the rest of the show as an audience member.
Who doesn't like laughter? I know I do.
Thank you for having me!
