I won Portland's Funniest Person and am now officially the king of Portland comedy. I'm so shocked and humbled and also uncomfortable in this robe/tiara combination. Thank you to everybody who came out and supported me through my years of competing. I'll try to be a benevolent leader.
My hometown alt-weekly wrote a great profile about me for my upcoming shows & workshop. Really excited to do comedy in Reno for the first time.

I teach a variety of stand-up classes and workshops, including at colleges and universities around the country. If you have a college improv or stand-up group and you'd like to learn more about writing and performing standup, check out my college comedy workshops page.

I'll be taking over Writer’s Bloc at Helium and leading a discussion about all the stuff in comedy that isn’t comedy. Booking, networking, producing, business stuff. The not fun parts. No signups required, just show up with questions.
Drop in from 5 to 8pm. RSVP on Facebook.
I'll be teaching a one-day intensive intro to standup workshop at Helium Comedy in St. Louis on August 19th. Come learn all my secrets PLUS LIGHT SNACKS.
