Truth versus Fiction

In 2014, I took two comedy classes in Central Square. Every week my classmates told me I should tell stories and forget about stand-up. Apparently, I wasn't following the form. 

My classmates were in awe at my first homework assignment. They couldn't believe all the crazy adventures I'd had  on vacation. It was obvious they thought it was all true.  I hadn't realized that the humor needs to be based on actual events—no embellishment. 

I have changed as many identifying features as I could without deleting the story itself in order to protect the innocent (as well as the guilty).

I have chosen Paris as the backdrop for these stories. The details of the characters' lives are also fictitious. The humor, on the other hand, is based on real-life happenings..
