Stand Up

I’ll post links to audio and video as they become available and let you know about
upcoming shows in my blog.  Reach out to me if I can help you fill a spot at a show!

Yuk Yuks - CroppedWhen I was a kid, I looked forward to the Speech Competitions at school.

Let’s be honest – my dad wrote the speeches.  He loaded them full of gags and taught me about timing and delivery.  The feeling when a joke landed and the crowd laughed was unlike anything else I had experienced to that point.

Later, I fed myself a steady diet of Just for Laughs, Comedy at Club 54 and Evening at the Improv.  I’d memorize the jokes and test them out on my friends at school, craving the laughs and applause I saw on TV.

Years later, I started writing (and editing, rewriting, rehearsing and generally talking to myself), until I had crafted my first stand up set.  Without telling anyone, I booked a spot at an amateur showcase and never looked back.

Here’s a recording of a bit from that first set, about ordering my very first Goat Roti.

And here’s a recent set.
