A year and a half ago, I emailed a booker asking if I could perform in his club (along with a video of my stand-up) .

One Year In Improv
One year ago today I took my first improv class. It was the first of 8, 3-hour long sessions in 5 days with the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York.

I’m not smoking pot right now, but you are. I just imagine wearing this to Bonnaroo and having lots of people come… Continue reading A good stoner shirt?
