Stand-up comedy in English and Czech language

I have done stand-up comedy in English for many years, but two years ago decided to try it in Czech.  I have performed at Na stojaka many times and have made it to the second round of Ceskoslovensko ma talent, which will take place at the end of June.  Comedy has given me great confidence and made me a better, more accesible teacher.
