But her friend didn't do that, he told her to be a comedian.  This was brilliant advice but she has horrendous stage fright.  Mara's stories about her voyage to her first stage gig are not only funny, they do give us the back story on the honing of the comedian.  How many times have you heard a terrific joke, and in repeating it, just mangled it?  More to the point, how many times have other people just mangled the joke and waited for you to laugh?  Comedy is clearly one of those things that has to look easy, but is tremendously difficult.  Still it is fun to read about.
