3 Watching Zigrino’s talent with how she shifted her humor from an adult- heavy 7PM show to a more youthful crowd of Stanford students at 9PM was a huge lesson for me as an emcee that night. As host, I also had to read the crowd and warm up the room for the opener and main act. As Zigrino masterfully showed, no matter how well you prepare, you can never know what material you’ll get by interacting with the audience.

Venturing into the world of stand-up comedy was a rather spontaneous decision for me. Before coming to Stanford, I had never done stand up. My friend, Deedee Anderson, introduced me to the student club and, rather spontaneously, I began performing sets at Stand Up, D’s weekly open mics at CoHo. When I first joined, the group often felt like it was a boy’s club, especially since Deedee and I, the two new members, were also the only women.
