Step 2: You will be all over the media. Step 3: The average person will be all like, "Who the heck is Jen Kwok?? She just came out of NOWHERE, and now she's EVERYWHERE." Step 4: You will smile and say, "Heh heh.. if you only knew." You should be proud that you are a comedian and not shy about it. So you may not be able to tell a joke at the drop of a hat when you're not on stage. If you were a doctor, would you be able to cure a patient at the drop of a hat when you were off duty? How about a cab driver.. Will you be able to take someone somewhere if you're just chillin on the street? If you reaaaaaaaaaaaaally have to tell them something, just ask them, "Umm.. why did the chicken cross the road?" And then when they say, "I don't know," Just say, "Do you believe in Jesus????" or some other non-sequitor.... Also I've done a lot of shows myself, but I have a hard time remembering where I've performed.. I'm just like "umm at cool places in new york" or something to that effect.. "umm.. go to my myspace page cuz I forgote" As a fellow person who wears numerous hats (hip hop/comedy/interviews/reviews/videos/production/improv/banter/singing/violin/piano/drums/blah/etc), I say keep doing it, because before you know it, the following will happen:

Step 2: You will be all over the media.

Step 3: The average person will be all like, “Who the heck is Jen Kwok?? She just came out of NOWHERE, and now she’s EVERYWHERE.”

Step 4: You will smile and say, “Heh heh.. if you only knew.”

I'm currently in my narrowing down phase. I'm not looking at it like reducing, just focusing. We're still going to be all those things, right? But at least we can put them in an order and let something stand out as the priority. And it helps. I'm actually saying no to things. Imagine that shit, yo. But it does take time and you have to go through that '101' stage just to figure out what it is that you really want. Keep it up. You're kicking ass.
