To some minor degree of success but I couldn't ever get control of my anxiety

Edit: Sorry I was on my way out the door to an appointment.

I did it for a few years and wasn't outright hated. Did fairly well for myself but relatively minor all things considered. Was on TV here in Canada a couple times. There are clips out there floating around of me doing stand up and it's always a mixed reaction, like any comedy. Some people like it and some people don't which isn't helped by the fact that my style was kind of a cross-over of Robin Williams, Dylan Moran and Lewis Black. Fast, surreal and angry. If I was able to afford therapy and get some medication then I'd probably still be doing it. But, then again, trauma seems to be a prerequesite for being a comic.

And hell no I'm not finding a clip.
