All I Really Need to Know, I learned at the Comedy Warehouse.
Share Everything:This mostly means wigs. And if it was the 90's when I was there, vests.
Play fair:Give and take, leave open rhymes, yes and...
Put things back where you found them:Glasses, props, super hero capes, old lady shawls, plastic helmets, moustaches etc..
Don't take things that aren't yours:Like if the suggestion is country, and Krista is there, it's not yours. Or Kelly's prescription migraine blue pills, maybe don't take those. And if you do take one, maybe don't try to do a show right after.
Say your sorry if you hurt somebody:Like if you talked about lasik surgery in front of Kelly. Or like when Steve handed Mary her underwear on stage. Or when Mary said "cunt" on stage.
Clean up your own mess:If you ever made the crazy mistake of allowing Budge to take you "drinking around the world" on Easter, you would need to have brought a barf bag and money for a taxi.
Carry friends in your heart:No matter where I traveled or lived after my two years in Orlando, I carried the love and strength from the people at the comedy warehouse wherever I went. If someone in the world ever made me feel like I wasn't good enough, funny enough, worthy enough, it was very easy for me to recall immediately..."Well, Kelly and Jim and Steve love me"or"Mary and Greg laughed at what I said."or"Budge thinks I'm funny!"

It's been almost 13 years since I left the Comedy Warehouse, and I have yet to find the type of family in another place that I experienced there. Support on stage was easily transfered to support offstage in the most sincere and loving ways. The same people that broke each other into tears of laughter in front of an audience, were there to comfort each other's tears in real life. I send my love to all of the hearts and minds that made up that wonderful, warm supportive place where the best comedy in Orlando could always be counted on. You can't put a value on the billions of laughs you generated for friends and strangers over the years, but I imagine it is all worth more than anyone can possibly imagine. It was such a special place, and I feel honored and lucky to have been a small part of it. Love, Jamie
