About Me
I'm an Atlanta comedian. I perform stand-up regularly in Atlanta and Athens, write and perform in sketch shows when they let me and sometimes act in short films. I also dabble in writing fiction and comic pieces and sometimes read at spoken word nights in a decidedly un-slammy manner. I have a deep fondness for Schubert songs, Thelonius Monk's jagged, awkward lyricism and the understated grace of Bob and Ray. I drive a '93 Oldsmobile. The tape deck jams.
If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?
You call this random? Nothing worse than predictable quirkiness.
