- Get over your fear of public speaking
- Create a one-person show
- Work on personal essays
- Personalize your standup
- Develop a memoir

It's important to take yourself seriously, but it's just as important to take yourself lightly. When you can do both at the same time and share it with others, you're practicing the Comedian's Way.
