Funny Stories

Comedy is hard. I have been a stand up comic for nearly five years now and I admit the road has been far from easy. In fact, it’s one of the most difficult things I’ve undertaken in my life. To some, stand-up seems easy enough. Come up with some jokes…

Getting My Life Together

I have got to get my life together. This is a phrase I have heard a lot recently. By friends, family, complete strangers, I have even caught myself saying this in the past. On the surface it makes sense; we can become complacent or have contempt with our current circumstances…

Defining Social

Every Monday I meet with a group of amazing people who I am fortunate to call my friends. The Zero Group. Each week we talk about everything under the sun. From our work and passions, to our deep personal struggles. We share our philosophies on life and offer each other…

What About the Seahorses?

Be what is true. That’s what every comic strives for. To find that one thing everyone else is overlooking or too uncomfortable to talk about, wrap in up in some funny paper (think genital wrapping paper), and a deliver it to a curious yet unsuspecting audience. But what even is…

Help

On the way to visit my sister and nephews uptown, a man collapsed in front of my girlfriend and I. He was crossing the intersection at the corner of our block. Of course we went to help and upon reaching him, I noticed his hands got cut up from the…

Breath of the Wild

I spent my weekend destroying Ganon and restoring peace to the kingdom of Hyrule. What did you get into? When I was a kid, every weekend would be dedicated to two things; pick-up basketball and video games. It makes sense thinking back on it. This is how my friends and…

What’s My Purpose?

What’s my purpose? This is a question that has popped up in several conversations I have been a part of recently. Whether it’s my corporate friends, entrepreneurs, or people drifting through life; regardless of their current circumstance, we all appear to be pondering the same thing. …

Me and Me

Who I am in front of you That is only partly true Some parts are seen over time Still others are only mine What you see is confidence brimming Just the surface barely skimming My words to you speak power Words to myself slowly devour Attentive to your thoughts and emotions Drifting deep into my ocean Comforting you with a warm embrace Wiping tears off my face This world should feel like home In my mind wandering alone We need each other to thrive Without help I won’t survive

Holding a Scalpel on a Tight Rope

I have a big show coming up. An audition for Broadway Comedy Club. As much as I like BCC (which also happens to be the acronym for big Caucasian c***) as a venue, I am mostly excited by the prospect of getting more stage time. I heard somewhere that mastering…

Something Borrowed

Today has a story to tell Ringing through air like a bell In languages I understand Most of which I can’t Millions of souls walk the streets Only one of which is me Rain streaks down a window pane Tears relieve overwhelming pain Laughter cascades around the block Round the…
