Pat, Try to do it. I would like to be a comic for fun, because I tell hilarious stories and make people laugh. Since I was in junior high, I have been frequently told that I have a good since of humor. Yet, my fears, anxiety s d long term depression have stopped me from doing public speaking (which I did in my 30s as part of a past work requirement). Good Luck! BTW, my great grandmother's "maiden name " was Fitzgerald. She was born in Ireland in 1850.
