The Comfy Corner

The current show that I'm doing necessitates me acting like a twelve year old asshole for an hour and a half. The show is called "Spelling Bee" and I'm playing the former champion, Asian, Boy Scout, overachiever who gets a spontaneous erection. So basically, I'm playing myself at age twelve (only I wasn't an asshole. I was super sweet). In working on the show we have had to resurrect memories of when we were that age and I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that it was not the greatest time of my life. In fact, it was an age that was so awkward and uncomfortable, I don't know how I ever survived it. When I think back on that time I think about traipsing around my middle school campus being super nerdy, being overweight, being uncomfortable changing in gym class, being confused about girls, and being nicknamed "Mr. Perfection." And, lucky me, I get to revisit those memories eight shows a week!
