Comedy isn't pretty. It's striking. It's a bitch goddess. It can punch you in the gut with laughter, or just punch you in the gut. It can fold you in its warm embrace....no, it can't.

I can. I can do all that shit.

I can also perform CPR, cross stitch, prepare Pad Thai, draft a will, play a flute, commence prayers in three different religious styles, hail a cab in deep midtown at 445 PM on a weekday, and tell you wear to buy queen size fishnets.

I also swear a lot.

Welcome to my world.

I host a weekly show with a monthly break (like a period!) at the Parkside Lounge called SuperEgo Comedy with Dale Sorenson. Visit the website to sign up. Always free to watch, revel in the joy of the solo performer - comics, characters, musicians, monologists and tap dancers (we haven't had any tap dancers yet) are all welcome!

I have performed at, and sometimes help put together, new talent and specialty shows at clubs like the Laugh Lounge. If you'd like to make the leap into getting up onto a club stage, please drop me a line.

I've been known to do the crazy make-em-ups of long form improv at places like the UCB and Magnet Theater, but we know the real reason for that. Babes dig it. Am I right, people?

I'm trying to write. Aren't we all?

In my spare time, I enjoy lawyering. But who doesn't?

#24 - Look a shiny thing

I tend to make semi-impulsive decisions where my career is concerned. I have many times left a job without having another one. So far, so.....

I like reading random blogs. Weird little windows into other people's fairly regular lives. People seem pretty happy in their blogs. I especially like quirky/serious blogs on topics I'm not entirely familiar with - home schooling, soap making, veganism. And besides, my life is annoying/dull at the moment.

#22 - Man oh tee!

I am far more graceful in the water than I am on land. I actually remember my summer camp and community pool swimming strokes and can do every one (except the butterfly) pretty darn well.

#21 - Am I blue?

My favorite cheese is blue cheese, the more pungent the better. Stilton, especially or Maytag.

If I'm up weirdly early and alone on a Sunday morning, I will become far too engrossed in religious TV. Sometimes there's even a Catholic mass among the many televangelical types. I can't seem to turn it off without absorbing quotes and pleas and homilies for a good fifteen minutes or so. (Except Creflo Dollar. I'm sorry, the name is just too much for me.)

Sometimes I'll catch the Farm Report too, which is awesome.
