		<title>Auditioning for Comedy Roles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been a director for live theatre, stage, and film. It still surprises me how easy and how difficult it is auditioning people: easy in that I can easily say &#8220;no&#8221; to a great many, and difficult in finding good usable comic actors.

		<title>Bart Freebairn in: A Breathtakingly Magical Journey into the Ordinary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have noticed on this blog that many people look up my reviews for the big name comedians, but not so much for the up and comers. This is a shame.
