The Best in LGBT & Social Justice Comedy
Overview
For over a decade, I have used humor to create an experience for audiences of all calibers, as a tool to bring everyone together, laugh and reflect on life, social issues and the absurd. The result has been the ability to blur the lines that many of us feel exist that divide one another based on the places that we come from in life. Laughter and love, truly inspire us to keep coming together as people, and most of all, has inspired me to continue doing the work of bringing people together with laughter. I have accommodate all comedy needs, including emceeing, headlining and providing entertainment at special events.
