dc.description.abstractFor my Signature Honors Project, I wrote and performed a 20-minute stand-up comedy special that blended observational and surreal humor. Through weekly writing and open mic performances, I developed my material under the guidance of Dr. Eric Shouse. The final show, held at the Jenkins Fine Arts Center, drew over 70 attendees and explored how audiences respond to conventional and unconventional comedy.
