WHAT I MADE IN MARCH this video about how I wrote the worm song 29 live shows a Farewell Show This month I left Second City! I tortured myself with this decision during the fall and made the decision in December, so I feel like I’ve mostly processed it by now. But March was a month-long sprint of trying to tie up loose ends in the building, plan my Farewell Show, invite and thank the people who helped me, finish my worm video, write speeches for everyone else leaving, and THOROUGHLY REFLECT so I could write my own speech. I was lying rigidly on the couch explaining this to my mom, who came over for coffee, and she said “Good. You wouldn’t want people to hear your speech and think ‘I don’t think she thoroughly reflected.’”
This is really an insightful account. Thank you, so much for this. I was in Chicago in the late 80’s/90’s and this is such a great account of your path. If you don’t mind, I’ll want to share this with other improvisers and students!
I really enjoyed reading this, Claire! What an incredible journey through The Chris Farley Chuckle Factory. I only wish I had been around to see any of it but I’ve enjoyed watching from afar. Enjoy your Big Hurrah!
Thank you, Tim! A fellow Mike Meyers Inc Alumnus. I was at your house right before I started Main, so the journey won't be complete until I circle back...
Aunt Elizabeth! Hi Caroline! Hi Elise! May you find so much novelty, small shops with cool pants, swimming, warm lighting, snacks and a well behaved stomach. I’m really glad you reflected, it helps all of us find words for our experience, too. You’re great with words. Come visit me!

Of course! I'd be honored.
I really hope you and Evan work together again!!! I dream of you two like Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara!!!
I dream of it too! We will leave a sacrifice on the altar of Hollywood.
Build your own work. But you know that already- just gotta get to a place where you can make it a reality!
You've done it again, darling. I love your words

That’s right! Your last visit was on a very strange night for us so I feel we owe you a better LA experience. You’re welcome any time!
Thank goodness Cat linked here! Can we see the cowboy hat pajama pants? I'm going to make my own PJs that say "It's okay to leave a good job."
I will take a pic right now and next time I see you, I will scroll through my camera roll for 6 minutes saying "hold on a sec, I'll find it."
Loved! Every! Minute of this!
What a beautiful journey! Here 4 the Hurrah and love you so so much ❤️
Congratulations on it all you star :):):):):)
