Listen as we dive into and celebrate the art and emotions connected to the beginning of each person’s journey.
His first and only stand-up attempt was in 4th grade at a talent show where he met with a silent audience. As he tells it, “I was so incredibly humorous that the audience was forced into a rare but diagnosable form of Selective Mutism.”
Listen in as he assists in the conversation and navigates the world of open mic comedy with his curiosity, compassion and a sub from Mama B’s.
Formerly having been a part of The Backyard, a public access improv sketch comedy show which ran from 1998-2001, he returns to comedy after over a decade long hiatus.
Equipped now with more life experience, self-awareness, and fart and poop jokes than ever before, listen in as he helps facilitate the conversation with fellow open mic comedians.
