I bring crowd-friendly stand-up comedy to birthdays, parties, school events, and corporate gatherings—basically anywhere people need to laugh and can’t leave. My style is personal, punchy, and grounded in everyday life—being a dad, working in middle schools, and trying to look like I have it all together (I don’t). With a background as a school counselor, I know how to read a room, keep it clean, and leave folks laughing without needing a parental advisory warning.
