from West Virginia, where I started telling jokes in the back
of a small burrito restaurant. I spent my early twenties
running scrappy open mics with friends, inflicting “live,
local” comedy on happy-hour crowds, before moving to
Pittsburgh, PA.

My act is story-driven and confessional, interactive and
frenetic. I earnestly explore my queer identity, profound
loss, my place in the sociopolitical hell through which we’re
all suffering, and everyone I’ve made out with along the way.

I’ve opened for Kate Willett (Netflix, Comedy Central),
Brandie Posey (Comedy Central, Lady to Lady), Billy Wayne
Davis (Last Comic Standing, Squidbillies), and a long roster
of hilarious road comics.

You didn’t hear it from me...

“You deserve way
more views! Your
timing and wit is wayyy
better than half these
‘big’ comedians I see
on Instagram.”
