2015: Enter joke about not knowing what “bae” means here

M’kay Curlfriends, Prolly about an hour ago I promised you a photo recap of my 2015. Because if you don’t already know, this is now a tradition I do so that I can remind myself that I am indeed doing *something* with my life and also so I can remind myself how young and pretty I once was.*

So, with just a tad further adieu, I give you, Courtney McClean (& The Dirty Curls too, of course)’s 2015, in pictures, which if you follow me on Instagram, it’s likely you’ve already seen:

My first Punchline Punchout!

Finally made that vagina tip jar

Got to see Shania Twain with lots of access thanks to my friend Jenny who does her hair and makeup.

Bought this sexy baby. I named her Yvette.

Headlining BNW ETC stage.

Sean Bernard, AKA Timid Guy, AKA one of my favorite people, and a producer of the Twin Cities Hit Show podcast.

What I expect to be at the end of 2016.

My father put on a wig and got my CA ID for me.

Tim Mahoney was a frequent visitor on TCHS because why not

The beach

I did the “Twin Cities Hit Show Podcast” with these guys for the first 55 episodes.

When my eyes did that weird thing!

Last show for MN’s Rockstar Storytellers

On my way to some show, eye makeup on fleek, MIRITE KIDS?

I lived in Minnesota for almost 8 years!

We played the Varsity Theater!!! For like 7 people, but WE PLAYED THE VARSITY.

I moved back to CA this year. And I finally live in Los Angeles.

The Twin Cities’ Rockstar Storytellers! We stopped doing our regular shows, but we’re still pals.

Hell yeah, Babs came with me.

I worked for an awesome pizza joint and was at the best Twins game ever. They scored 13 times and there were like 4 crazy homeruns. It was magical.

Minnesota Fringe comes and goes… my tenth one!

Drove to CA from MN. And stayed there.

Photobombing my own picture of Bill Corbett.

From the Varsity stage, picture by Madoo. The actual show looked not too different from this.

Michelle Biloon was a guest on the Twin Cities Hit Show and she is v cool

My name on the teleprompter, Curlfriends!

With my Rockstar Storytellers Dave, Rob, and Allegra.

I performed on the Inner Sanctum stage

With the amazing Joseph Scrimshaw, in MN (he’s out in Los Angeles too tho)

I headlined the Brave New Workshop ETC Comedy Showcase.

Anna made me this lovely necklace as a departure gift.

Got some really calm looking headshots

I look classy because I just married comic Brandon Reynoso to his wife Molly.

Choreographed my first dance since like, high school.

The Curls went as Three’s Company for CONvergence, because cosplay

“On The Fly,” a local MN entertainment show

My eyes are doing this weird thing on purpose. This is me being sexy.

I cosplay Tommy Ryman for our dance!

I’m not sure a lot of people miss me, but *someone* does (her name is Jen A)

Miss Shannan! “On The Fly” again.

Every Monday! I do El Cid Open Mic! I love it!

My childhood acquaintance Laura is now one of my closest friends and podcast partner.

Snagged the state magnet.

Ate this placenta pill

Anna, Lacey, and I went up to Duluth to perform “The Sex (Ed) Show!” at Teatro Zuccone.

Started doing the El Cid open mic really regularly.

So proud after taping the Alex Aaron Comedy Hour

The man in this picture is my friend Kyle, who passed away in December. We’ll miss him terribly. (Gold-suited lady is the fabulous Morgan, still alive and kickin)
