Red pill or blue pill?

January 31, 2023 SimoneUncategorized

I would take the red pill without hesitation. I’d go back and make better choices with the knowledge I have now: The years of anguish I’d save knowing that my brain is wired a little differently than others. I’d know that I am ok, I am enough. With a better…[Read more]

Playing it safe is the riskiest choice

January 22, 2023January 22, 2023 SimonePersonal

Playing it safe is the riskiest of choices. It does not create security…it stifles it. I realized that I had stopped growing and learning when I played it safe. I also realized that by playing it safe, I remained stuck for decades…too afraid to find out what lay on the…[Read more]

When preparation meets opportunity

December 30, 2022January 5, 2023 SimoneBig break, Fun!, On the road, Performing, Personal

The truth is, I acknowledge the role of luck. Nevertheless, being adequately prepared cannot be watered down or downplayed. Pick that one thing you have interests in or desire and develop skills necessary in that area. Be intentional about your goals. – Praise Mbanali (When opportunity meets preparation: The 10,000…[Read more]

Update over the last year

October 11, 2021October 11, 2021 SimoneCOVID-19, Misogynoir, Pandemic, Performing, Personal

So much has happened over the last year. COVID-19 is still a thing. There were 4 lockdown periods in Ontario: March 2020 to July 2020 October 10-26, 2020 December 26, 2020 to February 2021 March 2021 to July 2021 I’m fully vaccinated. Restrictions are still in place but slowly things…[Read more]

Post-quarantine

September 14, 2020January 4, 2021 SimoneCOVID-19, Lockdown, Pandemic, Quarantine

I moved during quarantine. It was so stressful. I moved from the 18th floor to the 16th floor. I was ill prepared and didn’t start packing seriously until about 3 days before the move. So stupid on my part. I had emergency dental surgery on April 30. Somehow my tooth…[Read more]

Coronavirus/COVID-19

May 18, 2020May 18, 2020 SimoneCOVID-19, Pandemic, Quarantine, Self-Isolation

We are in the midst of a pandemic. Since March 15, 2020 people have been in quarantine, many have lost their employment. People have gotten sick, many have died. It’s a time of great uncertainty. It’s quite scary to be honest. I have been in self-isolation since March 15. But…[Read more]

The Taylor Swift of Comedy

February 2, 2020March 9, 2020 SimoneInspiration, Material, Performing

Taylor Swift has made a whole career out of talking about her love life. If she can do it, I can do it too. In terms of material, I have a treasure trove of stories about failed relationships, online dating, speed dating, and strange men/people that I’ve met over the…[Read more]

Where do I get my material?

January 25, 2020October 11, 2021 SimoneMaterial

I get material from everywhere! The funny can be pulled from almost anything. As soon as an idea hits me, I must write it down. Do you know how many bits I’ve lost because I didn’t write them down? Most times a bit comes to me while I’m driving. Since…[Read more]

Is anything off limits?

January 3, 2020October 11, 2021 SimoneMaterial, Performing

For myself, not really, but… If someone doesn’t want me to talk about them on stage, I won’t. If a bit is based on a specific person, I won’t call them out by name. Depending on the situation, especially if it involves someone else, I’ll ask first. My style is…[Read more]

How I got here

December 28, 2019October 11, 2021 SimonePersonal

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to do stand-up comedy. I was fascinated by it. I watched hours and hours of comedy specials examining how each comedian performed his or her craft. I knew it wasn’t easy, that making it look effortless and off-the-cuff, took hours and…[Read more]
