Bob Hope's writer coming to Conference

I know what you are thinking -
Christian Comedy?
Isn't that an oxymoron?
Look, you know me, you know I'm not going to tell you something that isn't true.
Chonda Pierce, the President of the Christian Comedy Association is a creative genius.
You don't believe me? She just had another DVD go Platinum. But don't believe all those people that bought it - believe me when I tell you she's like the Elvis of Clean Comedy with a purpose.
Look - I know the word "Christian" is a loaded word. Everyone makes all kinds of assumptions when you hear that word.
Please do yourself a favor and put down your assumptions for 2 days and just come and learn about the business and creative process of the thing you love - stand-up comedy.


This year's conference has amazing people -
Martha Bolton wrote for BOB HOPE for something like 12 years!
And no, she isn't ancient.
She's actually hot. And totally astute. I'm not - I don't even know how to spell the word. She listened to me over one meal and gave me some great advice that has taken me to a whole new level.
Last thing I asked her was "what would you have done differently?"
She said "I would have written more scripts. I would have produced more work."
But it didn't matter for her because she wrote for TV for her whole career and she always had plenty of work.
So take her advice if you love what you do and DO MORE WORK. PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. GO TO THE CONFERENCE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO MORE WORK.
OK. I'm done with this for now.
C U There.
one last thing - cough up $75 and play hooky for 2 days if you believe in yourself.
