We were taught how every situation, even tragic ones, could be turned into material. I started filling notebooks with jokes. I would come home, smoke a joint, watch television, and write in my notebook. My brain was just going nonstop. I have a lot of elements of my life where I can get jokes. I’m a mom, so I can have jokes about that. I am a chef, a wife, an immigrant. There are layers that I can work with.
Our first show was at Comedy Cellar, and most of the staff of my restaurants came. I had five minutes to do my set. I almost shit my pants. I’m not joking. It was super stressful. I have never had stage fright. I can talk in front of hundreds of people, no problem. But this was different. I was scared I wasn’t going to be funny enough. Comedy requires thick skin.
