Veronika Slowikowska's Got Magic to Do
Briefly

The first comedy show I ever produced and starred in was at the ripe age of 5 years old. My Polish dad gifted me the VeggieTales Christmas special soundtrack right before Christmas, and it sparked a creative scratch I needed to itch. I recruited my older cousin, who was only 8 years old at the time, and I turned into a bossy, passionate director.
I was booked on a magic show - like, where magicians do magic and I'm the comedy act in-between. Turns out these magicians were (a) so amazing it was mind-blowing and (b) sooo funny? When it was my turn to do some alt comedy following amazing magicians who are hilarious, charming, and also hot? I ate it.
At the end of the movie 8 Mile, Eminem's character, B-Rabbit, starts his final battle rap by dissing himself so the person he's battling has nothing left to attack. God, I'm awkward, predictable, pathetic and I wear my heart on my sleeve. People can’t insult me; I'm already a work-in-progress.
