Personal Narrative: The Comedy Get Down Tour

914 Words2 Pages

As an SAEM major, attending live events in sports, arts, or entertainment, your mindset becomes more in tune with the process of how the event is run. Whether it's the productions crew, ushers, coach, or main act, you become more aware of the tasks each individual has in running the show/event. As many average spectators are in attendance for the main event, we know there is much more behind it with many crucial jobs to make the event a success. One of the live events I recently attended was the Comedy Get Down Tour, hosted at Consol Energy Center, September 18th. In return for being involved as a street team member for the comedy tour, I was offered 2 free tickets. Foremost, as we know in order to have a successful show, venues must provide practical event parking. Parking is usually never an issue at Consol Energy Center. With the lot open for public parking where Mellon Arena once stood and private lots along 5th Avenue, there's usually never an issue. However, the closer the lot is to the venue, the more it costs. On average from what I have noticed from other major events at Consol Energy Center, the average cost to park in these lots is $15-20 dollars. Once I made it through the security check, I then took the elevators up to the will call window to pick up my tickets. Then proceeded towards the line to get my …show more content…

Each act was funny and allowed the audience to laugh the entire show. I am a fan of stand up comedy and have been to several other comedy events. Prior to the Comedy Get Down, my favorite act was Kevin Hart last November at Heinz Hall. Kevin Hart has always been one of my favorite comedians and absolutely loved his performance during his "What Now?" tour. However, comparing the acts between Kevin Hart and the comedians of the recent tour at Consol Energy Center, I would have difficulty picking my favorite event, as each was very enjoyably funny with great overall

    This weekend I worked with one of the special needs adults I work with every weekend. She is 28 years old and is severally special needs. This weekend all we did was hang out at her house and watch television. Even though she is 28 years old she has a mentality of a 13 year old. Since she has this mentality I assumed that she still watched children shows such as Disney and Nickelodeon. When her parents went out to eat I asked them what channel’s she liked, and they responded that she will watch whatever you put on. So as an 18 year old I put on Impractical Jokers. It is a show where four friends embarrass each other in Staten Island.

  • Personal Narrative: A Christmas night concert

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Rudolf the red nosed reindeer …,” he sang, slightly off key. His voice echoed through our home above the Boys Ⅱ, Men Christmas track which played triumphly through the hall upstairs. In only a pink cotton robe, a pair of whit satin Isotoner slippers, and a head full of three inch rollers I made my way from the bathroom down the cluttered hallway of tree tinsel and holiday ornaments to the oak balcony which overlooked the front entrance to our home. Directly below me he stood at the bottom of the solid dark oak spiral staircase singing as though he was a celebrity on stage performing a solo for a sold out crowd. His scrawny four feet five inch long body seemed remarkably clean and his attire was in perfect order for the most part. Dressed in a heavy wool-like navy jacket, a white button down dress shirt, and a horribly matched royal blue bow tie, he hardly seemed to be the same menance who always found his way into the hands of trouble. Suddenly the singing stopped. His big baby blue eyes peers up to me from the floor below.

    As a child, all I knew was that there was some man asking if it was alright if he dated my mom. Of course, no matter how much my mom instructed me not to ask, I asked the question can I have a baby brother or sister. Eventually, I got a sister and she was everything I could ask for. And eventually, my mother got engaged to that exact same man. She had been engaged before so I thought why should this one be any different. though this man I now call my father certainly stood out more than the others.

    Parking by the dormitories is almost impossible. Students who live at particular dorms find themselves faced with the problem of having to park on the other side of campus. Those who live in Brown Hall, which is behind the Thompson center, have the most parking problems on campus. This is because the Thompson center is a very large building housing various departments on campus. Therefore it receives a lot of traffic all day. Visitors to the campus are taking over the parking lots around the Thompson center, which is forcing students to park other places on campus and some students chose to disregard the signs posted for reserved parking.

  • Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much: Personal Narrative

    1721 Words  | 4 Pages

    A poem called, “Success” was written in 1904 by Bessie Anderson Stanley. The first line reads, “He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much.” It gained some new popularity a few years ago and was printed in various ways on multiple products. “Live Well, Laugh Often and Love Much,” was one of the variations. To my pleasant surprise, many people would remark that the saying reminded them of me. I also have gifts of mugs, frames and wall hangings that validate their sentiments. Heartwarming as it was, I did not feel the confidence that I was doing that as well as I was getting credit for. The phrase would become a tag line to live up to, a basis for my personal philosophy and a road map for my goals. I think those words encompass the heart of our Creator.

    The stewardess then directed me towards the back, away from the cockpit. I looked at my ticket and at what seat I'd be sitting in. I had to duck in and around people putting their luggage into the upper compartments and look for my number on the back of my seat that matched my ticket stamp. As I walked past one of the windows, I glanced out and saw the right wing. It somehow gave me reassurance that I'd be fine and I'd soon be having the time of my life. "I'll soon be in the air."
