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!

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

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

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

Caroline cosplayed as comedian Chris Knutson for our dance to Lizzo’s “Pants Vs. Dress”

I cosplay Tommy Ryman for our dance!

Tim Mahoney was a frequent visitor on TCHS because why not

Anna made me this lovely necklace as a departure gift.

Anna, Alicia, and I flex for the marquee

Headlining BNW ETC stage.

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

What I expect to be at the end of 2016.

Started doing the El Cid open mic really regularly.

Drove to CA from MN. And stayed there.

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

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

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.

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

When my eyes did that weird thing!

I lived in Minnesota for almost 8 years!

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

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

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

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)
