2016 in Review (By The Month) – Part 1

December 27, 2016

Aurora De Lucia at her makeshift standing desk in her edit bay of The Nightly ShowWelp, here we are again. Time for another year in review. For a visual reputation, you can head on over to the Facebook album.

I feel like every year, I’m like, “Eh, I don’t know if broken up by months is the way to go… And then every year I do it anyway. So, without further ado –

January – I got booked for my first stand up show! I got 5 minutes as a real comedienne as part of the warm up comics for a bigger comedian’s full set.

February – I edited my first episode of The Nightly Show!!! It is almost beyond getting across how amazing that was.

February (bonus) – I got to sit in on rehearsals for a Broadway musical (because of my amazing high school theater teacher!)… (spoiler alert: It was pretty much like rehearsals for anything else – just on Broadway. Still cool as all get out though to watch Adam Pascal sing!)

March – I *officially* became an editor at The Nightly Show! The raise, the office, the credit in the show. It is legitimately one of the best things to ever, every happen to me.

April – I did my first stair climb! I know I love athletic events. And I always talked about doing one. But this year, I finally did.
Also, as April bonuses, for one thing, I played in the Daily Show vs Nightly Show soccer game. I’d always heard about Daily Show vs. Colbert Report stuff and thought it must just be so amazing working on those shows and getting to have that friendly rivalry. Then I grew up and got to be a part of it!Also, this is where I chose to mention volunteer work… I didn’t do as much as I wish I did, for sure. But I got more than a few events in this year. So, at least it was something…

May – I finished my 52 performances in 52 weeks! My goodness this year has bee so crazy and ever-changing, I almost completely forgot that was a 2016 thing – and yet it was only half a year ago.

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
