This year we’re bringing in tons of comics from all over the country. But we’re also inviting Colorado’s best comics to the show, because, well, we might run into them at Whole Foods and we don’t want them to get mad at us.
Meet ABBEY JORDAN!
Abbey Jordan started stand up in Denver in 2007 and has since lived and performed all over the country and the world. She has dazzled [her words] audiences at some of the best shows in NYC, LA, SF, PDX, SEA, CHI and Laramie! She hosts a monthly show called The Finger that draws together improv and stand up every first Friday at the Deer Pile above City O’ City. Come see the personality that alienated her for years be transmuted into a coming of ages story almost everyone can enjoy!
How long have you been a stand-up comic?
I have been a stand up for 5 years this month (August), although I remember being 8 and walking with friends making them sit down on the grass of random people’s homes while I told the same joke over and over. It was a good joke for an 8 year old.
What other comics will you be watching during the festival?
I don’t know what other comics are in the festival yet, but I am stoked to find out!
If you could give yourself advice when you first started out, what would it be?
Don’t feel entitled to anything. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re better than anybody.
If your future self ten years from now could give you advice, what would it be?
Don’t feel entitled to anything. Don’t fool yourself into thinking you’re better than anybody. Also stay out of the Sun and freeze your eggs!
Scientology inspired questions. Feel free to go into detail if you need to. Here we go…
a) Do you lie about yourself? I am sure I stretch the truth.
b) Do you connect yourself with bad influences? Sure!
c) Should you be punished forever? What? Who said that? Was it my Mom?
d) Have you ever invented perverted sexual practices? I have practiced sexual perversion… I will always practice, so that when the day comes, I will be a perfect pervert.
e) Is there a past life that you can’t talk about? I can talk about anything I know nothing about. The trick is: confidence.
