About Me

Upcoming Shows get this portable calendar at comedysoapbox.comI forgot how much fun I had whooping Todd Montesi's Ass
I am a stand up comedian who is dedicated in the pursuit of making people laugh. Do you like to laugh? So do I! (Like you really talked to the computer). I'm a 29 year old Gemini in pursuit of the dream. Lots of people have dreams, but beware those who dream with their eyes open, for theirs is the world for the taking. I first got into stand up when I was 19. I performed half-heartedly, on and off for 6 1/2 years. I thought the day job and the career was much more important. That is a lie. There is nothing more important than your dreams. I quit my job as a social worker (which I was very good at) and now I am living the life of a struggling artist. If anyone has any leftovers...please send them my way.
My comedy is personal. I talk about what it's like to be a person with a disability. I talk about my family, being in recovery from drugs and alcohol (I was a crack head...some may say crack enthusiast), and my work as a social worker.
Check out my brainfarts on my blog right here!
The world has a lot to offer, and if you believe, it can be yours for the taking...or not, either way, I believe we should just have fun. Life is too short. You know what they say...Where there's a will, there's a dead person. Take care, and good luck!
And if you need me, you know where to find me.
