about Christina: |
|
Christina Irene has been a writer since she could hold a crayon, and on top of that, she kicks ass at calculus. The result is a massive, varied heap of intricately arranged words, with some strata dating back to 1983. In 2000, when she accidentally decided to try stand-up comedy, her verbal creations suddenly took the form of setups, punch lines, callbacks, ad-libs, and other extraneous emissions of humorous diction. This is when all her greatest adventures began, traveling across thousands of miles and strutting across hundreds of stages (or just a floor with a microphone in front of dart boards and stuffed deer heads). Through the years and through the crayons, Christina has honed this passion, with her original material ranging from the commonplace to the curious, from the obvious to the obscure, and delivered as casual remarks intermixed with ranted wordplay. In 2005, Christina semi-retired from the comedy business in order to perform her serious show daily in front of teenagers on the topics of English, theatre, journalism, creative writing, and algebra. After four more years of high school, it was time for another change. Now, Christina is pursuing her true dream, the one she's had since she was seven years old: to be a writer. She has re-established "starving artist" residency with her parents so she can focus on the polishing, promotion, publication, and production (and alacritous use of alliteration) of her completed works and on the creation of new projects. Meanwhile, she is un-semi-retired as a comedian and is back earnestly haunting some favorite old stages and some coveted new ones, sharper than ever with her wit on the microphone.
