What to expect
My act is designed to keep people laughing, learning, and comfortable. I have always been turned off at the idea that you need to make people feel awkward or uncomfortable to produce genuine laughter. My jokes aim to be clever, witty, and harmless to the innocent. I am not one to pick on the crowd or make people feel like they're the butt of a joke. I believe the audience is there mostly to remain anonymous and have a good time. Professionally, I pride myself on punctuality, dependability, honesty, and consistency. If you hire me, there will be no surprises. I have dealt with clients and businesses of all sizes and industries, both for my digital marketing consultancy and my comedy business. I can offer a clean, family-friendly show, that is quick-witted and just as fun as any raunchy, risque act you might find selling their 'edge'. Hire me today and you will not be disappointed!
