EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!The New York Times is now discussing the very serious problem of racism at The Second City. This is excellent reporting if you want to understand what has happened, I witnessed it for years myself. This is the legacy of that theatre. #secondcity #thesecondcity #NewYorkTimes #comedy #racism https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzz65aHqCB/?igshid=1va47pk9xk1d3

Well, I did it. Ups and downs, I have mixed feelings about the institution but... This changed things! This changed things for me as a person, and for my idea of what I want to do with my life. I'm inching back bit by bit to being a creative person, and I'm so glad for that and grateful for what #SecondCity has enabled me to do. Wish they'd do some modernizing, but I digress. #TheSecondCity #Chicago #ChicagoComedy #writer (at The Second City Training Center - Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/B76hlK0AxnJ/?igshid=gmpmvuwiw8ku

TOTALLY Bill Murray! LOVE that dude.

For my latest feature What it takes to be first at the second city for @cbccomedy I shot two sets of photos. The Polaroids that ended up in the final feature were supposed to be my own mementos but when I pitched the idea to of using them to my editor he was into it and went with it. This series embodies the ease and bond the ease the cast has with each other. @nana_metcalfe Expresses a sentiment here everyone in the preforming arts can relate to. For the full feature and Polaroids link in bio. . . . . . #cbccomedy #thesecondcity #artsandculture #nataliemetcalf #sketchcomedy #canadiancomedy #dicipline #womenincomedy #iconiccompany #toronto #youngemodernlaughs (at The Second City Toronto) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_DZYGlNlS/?igshid=1hvurw4zlg2fd

My latest article for CBC comedy drops monday. I am a writer with rituals I write in primary school black and white composition books with pens from the same store every time. I do not throw away my first drafts (or collateral garbage created in the process) despite the piece evolving way past it. As if I need the mould in place until the resin of thought sets. My latest piece has gone through a alot of edits and rewrites. Long nights doing everything to coax the sentences to reveal themselves. Only to cut a lot of them. That I reluctantly and simultaneously agreed had to go. I am normally a multi-tasker this one ate up my entire focus. I didn’t want to start anything until this was finished. Plans cancelled, shows,unattended. This one challenged me in a way that made me feel like I knew nothing. Then that beautiful moment when I read the draft that I had read too many times again and it finally felt right....and my editor agreed it was. It was finally safe to throw let go of all the collateral garbage. . . . . . #artsandculture #comedy #canadiancomedy #thesecondcity #comedy #cbccomedy #sketchcomedy #comedyhistory #comingsoon #toronto #martyyounge #compositionnotebook #differentbrains #rituals #martyyounge #youngemodernlaughs (at Papër) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5tTRogFFvy/?igshid=1oc1205i7kb5h
