Don't Tell My Mother -- Comedy Stage Show

This summer, I began an internship with a monthly comedy stage show called Don't Tell My Mother.  It's been especially exciting as it coincided with my move to L.A. and is the first thing I've worked on while here. This comedy show focuses on embarrassing stories of performers and writers, most specifically -- stories they wouldn't want their mothers to hear.

On June 20th, I helped run the last show of the season by setting up at the cafe location, Fais Do Do.  I also worked to greet audience members and make sure they felt comfortable and welcomed.  It was a great experience -- host Nikki Levy has a great energy for the show, and all the performers' stories were hilarious.  The stories are relatable and the atmosphere is incredibly friendly.  

Here's a sizzle reel of the show, though it has expanded significantly since this was created (the location has changed to accommodate for a bigger crowd):

After the last show, I continued the internship through the off-season.  I wrote up a competitive analysis that included information about LA, Chicago, and New York, as the show hopes to expand to these other locations.  I also worked with other interns to brainstorm logo and merchandise ideas, and other ways to market the show through different forms of media.

Though I have completed the internship for my required credits, I have made good friends with the show's crew, and hope to continue helping out with the show when it returns for the new season.
