One exciting thing about comedy, and especially open mics, is that you never know whom you gonna get.

An audience is like a box of chocolates... 😆

Last time I came on stage, there were two outrageously good looking men from Finland, and I lost it to the point of forgetting all about my material, and just talking to them, overcome with giggles.

I am just a girl, after all, we are all human, and I am not afraid to be vulnerable and authentic on stage. Yes, it feels cringe, yes, it can be awkward, but after all, it's a human experience, to feel, to be surprised, to adapt, to improvise, to be in the moment.

5 minutes of material turned into 5 minutes of working the crowd of 2 specific people. I hope they had fun, and maybe even got their confidence boost, not that they needed it 😊

What might feel like a flash job interview, is actually a time pressured crowd work attempts.

I enjoy hosting comedy shows probably more than doing comedy itself. There is little pressure to be funny, and there is space for improvisational comedy and a glimpse of a conversation.

My previous teaching experience came in handy with mc-ing a comedy show, surprisingly. I feel like a glue that ties up the whole room together and brings everyone to the same page.

But it's very energy comlnsuming. I gotta actively listen to all the comedian, keep in mind the line up, and also continuously feel the room, have everyone engaged. I deal drained after, like after a physical workout. I literally feel my brain muscles grow 😁

I am often surprised at myself.

I have a long history of having a complicated relationship with food, and especially mushrooms. They are smart, they are communicative and they have been here before us and will probably stay after we've gone.

That's why they are a mushroom kingdom, and we are just a human kind. They will rule the Earth, and we’ll be kind enough to let them.

Do you have any foods that you are scared of? Share with me, so I feel less alone 😁

I never fully know what's gonna come out from my mouth when I am on stage. Even when I prepare a set, I deliver it differently every time. Those sounds I make are always a surprise even for me.

Many jokes are born in the moment out of the necessity to explain, or clarify, or react to the audience reaction. That's why it's always helpful for a comedian to record a set, even at an open mic, because some jokes are literally born in the moment. And just like birth of a human, it's a beautiful thing worth remembering.

I roast my father a lot too. It's either this or sadness, and I choose the roast, juicy and delicious 😆

In the recent news on personal front, I've gained 7 kg in the past 6 weeks. It's a response (quite common, but in my case it's agressive) to mirtazapine.

The recommendation is to "go on a diet", which seems almost like an impossible task. But hey, I'll take any tips 🫰

The weight gain in itself is not an issue. The issue is I cannot fit in any of my jeans anymore, at least comfortably. And I don't have the capacity for a new wardrobe. And if you know me, my wardrobe is abundant with things I keep on regular rotation.

This situation is one a concern for me. Of course, I joke about it, but what's next?

People often ask me about the helicopters that I incidentally put on every cap I own. I have heard all kinds of analogies that people keep reminded of when looking at it.

But for me, it just lifts my spirits up. Why have a boring hat, when you can make it whimsical? Kinda makes sense in my head, and ON my head, consequently 😆

Bring your cap, and I'll put in for you. Let's stay whimsical together 🫰

In this episode I probably overshared more than I ever did, I even had to cut some parts out,
because I felt too vulnerable while watching them back. But no worries, they were just a
couple of minutes, I kept all the best parts in.
Elias is an amazing conversationalist, so intriguing, so open, so deep. It was an ultimate
pleasure to share the stage with him, and I feel honored to have learned things from him.
We covered a range of topics, including:
How he lost his eye;
Impressions post Lasek surgery;
Stress management in life;
Dissociation as a coping mechanism;
Hope and dreams in life;
Madness;
Unexpected side effects to prescription medication;
The discoveries of id and Ego, as in psychoanalysis;
Bad trips;
Whether F1 drivers experience happiness?
Whether the experience of happiness depends on the access to resources;
Comedy as a great contribution to surviving life;
The Roman Empire and favorite emperors;
Halloween in Lithuania
Covid in Bulgaria;
Post vaccination panic attacks; and more.
Thank you for tuning in. Please, share, comment, and connect, I appreciate any input.
And let me know whom you would like to see next 🫰

The rumors are true. I am actually married. And my husband is actually a pilot.

People often ask me, how does your husband feel about all the jokes I make about him?

Well, he likes it most of the time. Because after all, they are jokes, and he knows it. Although, I do go back to him now and again to check in, just in case.

Comedy is sort of a poetry, and he is my muse, and who wouldn't like to inspire poetry?

A new episode of Late Night Show with Moira is up. This time I had .luca as my comedy guest, and I was pleasantly surprised at his natural ability to hold a conversation and bond with the crowd from all over the world.

To hear about Lithuania, Italy and its people, tune in with us on this beautiful journey. More than 90 minutes of entertainment for you to enjoy and share. Let me know what you find interesting, I eagerly bring it on the discussion table in my next show 🫰
