StandUp Academy T-Shirts
The StandUp Academy T-Shirts are finally here!! Yay!! After a long process, we finally have a good selection of choices for you all. Pick your favorite saying, color, style, size, etc. There's even something for kids and babies! (but if you buy your baby a onesie that reads "Stage Whore", I can not be held responsible if they grow up and become a comic). Thanks to Chris Schumacher for all the hard work on this! Hope you all get one or more shirts and spread the StandUp Academy name around the world (or LA and OC at least)!
