Fun Fact Friday!

Hey Smiley Face Fans!

It's that time again...Fun Fact Friday! Where I tell you a fun fact about me and/or something that happened to me this week. 

This week has been amazing even with me getting over a cold! I had a great stand-up set at The Comedy Store on Wed and I got to see a little comedy in addition which is always cool. Shout out to all the amazing comics! I'm super excited that my creative juices are flowing again, so I can't wait to bring you more amazing things this year! 

On the acting side, I'm really excited to say that I'm finally done with my styling for my new headshots and I bought new glasses! They are awesome and give me that Geek Chic look. I can't wait to take my new shots in two weeks! I can almost taste the camera! Haha! Then I can finally update my website and so much more. With that said today's Fun Fact is I have a new look and can't wait to share more of it with you next month! Stay tuned, Happy Easter and happy Friday!

Fun Fact Friday!

Happy Friday Smiley Face Fans!

It's that time again...FUN FACT FRIDAY where I give a fun fact about me and/or something that happened this week! So most of you know that I recently pitched a short to the Nickelodeon Animation Studio Shorts Program on Monday with my amazing friend and writing partner Zach Pizza. All the art work is by my long time amazingly creative friend and fellow CCS Alum Serge Gay Jr. It was loads of fun and I'm really happy to have had the experience. I've worked there for over five years and never actually pitched to Nick, so I'm very proud that I took this step into Producing again. So, today's Fun Fact is that I'm Producing again! I used to write, animate, direct, and produce animated shorts years ago, but took a break from it all to work in the business and come to the realization that you shouldn't do it alone. Now I'm back and you can expect various updates over the course of this year about projects that I'm Producing!  I can't say much about my short yet, but you'll be the first to know if something big happens. 



As a reminder, I will be doing stand-up again at the Comedy Store in Hollywood Wed. March 27th at 8pm in the Belly Room. PLEASE come out, drink and laugh with me at this amazing venue. Don't forget to let them know you're there to see "Shondalia White". My set will be 8 minutes so if you saw me earlier this month at Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank, you'll be in for a couple new joke treats! More details are below in my previous posting. Hope to see you there!

Until next week...Happy Friday!

I'm In Flapper's UNCLE CLYDE’S COMEDY CONTEST!

Hey Smiley Face Fan!

Wow has this birthday month been all that and a bag of chips! I used to work on Def Comedy Jam in 2007 when I moved to LA and I never thought that I would be doing stand-up anywhere.  Well after performing at Flappers for the first time earlier this month, I have been booked in another show, but this time it's a contest "Uncle Clyde's Comedy Contest!" If you didn't get a chance to support me last time or just want to be an awesome fan, please come out and see the show May 1st at 8pm. Details are below! I'm so happy and hope to win at least once with your help! =) 




When & Time: May 1st 8pm
Where: Flappers Comedy Club Burbank
***Say you're here to see Shondalia White***

Ticket and Contest Details are below:

For Ticket Info:
http://flapperscomedy.com/booking/clydes_flyer.php?id=17998

HOW THE CONTEST WORKS
Each round lasts 6 weeks and includes 5 Preliminary shows and one Soup-or- Bowl Final. In each preliminary round there is an Emcee, Special Guest and 10 comedians, each performing a 6 Minute Set. The show order is selected by random drawing held one half hour prior to the show. A Special Guest performer or Group is invited to perform at Half Time and at the end of the show while the votes are being tallied. Every Week each 1st place winner receives a $101.00 Prize 4 money, 2nd place winners will receive a gift certificate or FREE DVD of their set, and 3rd place wins Clyde's traditional Huge Side of French Fries. The 1st and 2nd place winners from each preliminary round will be invited to perform in a Soup-Or-Bowl Finals. Each Soup-Or-Bowl winner will receive a total of $500 and a professional booking at Flappers Comedy Club. 2nd place winners receive a gift certificate, and 3rd place is Clyde's traditional Huge Side of French Fries.

We are being sponsored by The Detroit Laugh Fest, the Boston Comedy Festival, the Seattle International Comedy Contest, and the Detroit Comedy Festival and will be awarding spots in their comedy contests as well as a plethora of other prizes.

VOTING
The voting is very simple; we print ballots with all the contestants names. During preliminary rounds the audience votes for their favorites. They must vote for 3 comics, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. You get 3 points for a 1st place vote, 2 points for 2nd place, and 1 point for 3rd. FABULOUS PRIZES! The first and second place finishers are invited to participate in the Soup-or-Bowl finals. The voting at the Soup-or-Bowl Finals, Championship Week and Clydes Cup is a little different, each audience member votes for 3 comics, one point per vote- so the winner wins by popular vote. .

SOUP-OR-BOWL OF COMEDY
After 5 weeks of competition we hold the Soup-or-Bowl of Comedy. The 1st and 2nd place finishers from each preliminary show (10) are invited to participate. The voting at the Soup-or-bowl, each audience member votes for 3 comics, one point per vote.

Fun Fact Friday!

Happy March Smiley Face Fans!!! 

This is my favorite month of the year because it's when I was born! Yes, this weeks Fun Fact is that I'm a March Pisces! Not only do I feel that we are some of the coolest people around, but we tend to celebrate for the entire month...Or at least I do! Hahaha! If you don't know much about Pisces we're very creative, imaginative, adaptive, loyal, self-less, and sensitive people, but there usually isn't a lot of in between for us, so watch out for that other fish. Our sign is represented by two fish swim around each other in opposite directions. 

Here's to all my March Water Babies and my first Stand-up Set this Sunday! Until next week, Happy Fun Fact Friday!


***This painting is a part of my collection by Serge Gay Jr. who is also a Pisces! 
Love my fishy friends!***

See you at my show this Sunday!

Hey Smiley Face Fans!

I've been busy writing and rehearsing away for my set at Flappers Comedy Club March 3rd at 7pm. Some of you asked if it was my solo show. No this is not my one woman show. It will be much longer and I will be alone on stage. Please look out for my next reading of it later this year or next year though. 

There is still time to buy tickets online for my Stand-up show! If you want to buy them at the door that's fine too, but it may be sold out. Don't miss the fun. Come out and support! Thanks!

Fun Fact Friday!

Hi Smiley Face Fans! You know what time it is...Fun Fact Friday where I reveal a little more about me and/or something that happened this week. This month has definitely been a world wind of fun! I've joined some amazing groups, met some amazing people and I'm actually working on a pitch! I know right!? Super excited about that, but I can't say too much right now. What I can say is that my writing partner Zach Pizza, made a funny prop to help us start to visualize what we're doing until our designer is done with our sketches. This is what he came up with. I thought it was so funny and had to share it with you guys. Thanks Zach for being so pro active! So today's fun fact is that I have a writing partner and you will soon hear and see more from us in the coming months. Enjoy your last Friday of the month!

Fun Fact Friday!!!

Hello Smiley Face Fans!!!

Hope you guys had a great Valentine's Day! I'll be celebrating all weekend with my beau, but for now it's that time again...Fun Fact Friday! where you learn just a little bit more about me and/or something that happened to me this week. I actually have a funny story. While walking to a seminar in Culver City this week I had the nightmare of looking for parking, which if you live in LA you know is one of the worst due to street cleaning signs EVERYWHERE! I finally got lucky and found free parking on a quiet little neighborhood street where I wouldn't get towed or ticketed. Walking there was fine, but when I walked back to my car, I tripped over a bulging street light that was in the ground. I believe they're there so people can see the lines at night. Well it wasn't night and those things are apparently a huge hazard.  Then, I noticed not only did someone see me and give me that awkward smile of embarrassment, but I tore my shoe completely open. Needless to say, today's fun fact is that I can be EXTREMELY CLUMSY at times. Hahahah! Plus I need a new pair of shoes...Shopping trip! Enjoy the pictures and I'll see you next week for another fun fact. =)

Fun Fact Friday!

Hi Smiley Face Fans!


It's that time again...Fun Fact Friday! where I reveal a fun fact about me or something that happened this week. This past week I went to a couple of birthday parties and one place stood out the most, Le Descarga. It's a really nice Cuban Style bar with a live band and dancers every hour. I was lucky enough to have the saxophone player to basically serenade me. Really awesome classy experience. I had a chance to dress up, listen to Latin Jazz music, and dance! Those are three of my favorite things and that's your Fun Fact Friday! See you next week! Adios!

Fun Fact Friday!

Hi Smiley Face Fan!

As previously discussed, this year there will be tons of fun things and post going on here at Smiley Face News, one of which is "Fun Fact Friday's". Every Friday I will reveal a fun fact about me and/or something that happened to me during the week. This Friday's Fun Fact is about my love for food! Anyone who knows me, knows that I love food and like to cook. I say "like" versus "love" because I do enjoy other people cooking food for me. This week I had a great time with my Nickelodeon Crew at Kabuki. If you haven't tried the crunchy rice it's a must. It has rice, salmon, jalapeno, and sauce on top and it's very filling. Thanks gang for good times! See you next week for your next Fun Fact!

Happy New Year SmileyFace Fam!
I'm so sorry it's been so long, but this year will be different I promise. =) I hope everyone is off to a great start. I sure am and there will be a lot to look forward to so stay tuned. One big thing that will be coming up in March is my first Stand-up show at Flappers Comedy Club in Burbank, CA.

To recap a little, I staged managed a play last Dec and played the part of the elf in "Bough's of Folly" by Big Bite Productions. It was an amazing event and I won't forget to let you guys in on the fun next time.


That's all for now. I'll be in touch  with more fun art and acting updates. Thanks for following me!
