I was 68 when I first stepped on stage as a standup comedian in 2003. I’d never set foot in a comedy _______ before. I’ve always been a(n) _______ — I’ve worked as a singer, actor and musician — but all that came to an end after 9/11. I live in New York, and we watched the _______ towers fall from my apartment building. For a year afterwards, nobody wanted to go out or be _______.

It was then that I started to think about comedy. I realised people needed to laugh, to enjoy themselves again, and thought that with a little _______ I could do it. I took a few classes, tried to work out a routine, and finally _______ the courage to get up on stage. That first time was terrifying. I had no idea what the audience would _______ of me.

In New York, comedians are _______ young men with beards. It’s hard enough to _______ through as a woman, even harder as someone old enough to be their grandmother. As I stepped on stage that first time, people laughed nervously. They were clearly ________ to see me. I introduced myself, stated my age and tried my first joke. There was ________. But by the time I got to the third line, people were properly laughing. I was ________.

Now my sets differ. I might be on stage for 10 minutes in front of a dozen people, or my one-woman show is a full hour in front of a crowd of 100.

After a show, people young and old come up to me, saying what a(n) ________ I am. They say they want to be as active as me when they ________ my age. I’m pleased I can show that as an older person you don’t need to take a ________ seat in life.”
