Today is the day.

I pace around my dressing room, and try to breathe. Why they even bothered to give me a dressing room I don't know; the thing was as perfunctory as their respect -- no light, moth-eaten walls, mirrors not cleaned since before original sin, probably...

There was no sense in which anyone cared about me as a performer in my own

Loved this! Especially your protagonist.

It was "the laughsmith" that got me, for some reason. It's both perfect and unexpected as a term for a professional comedian!

I was getting tense there for a second... she was really pushing it there. And that made it even sweeter when she was rewarded for her chutzpah.

I like what you did with this.
