Interview with Rob Delaney

Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing comedian Rob Delaney. Along with stand-up, Delaney writes a very funny column for Vice Magazine and has a Twitter following over 400,000-strong.

My Sideways DC Improv Video

Yes, I realize this video from my show at the DC Improv is sideways. No, I do not care to fix it. Watch it lying down if you have to. My cousin filmed this video, so blame him for it being shot this way. Blame him from a distance however, because the man is a [...]

How Does One Apply To Be A Luther?

I’m a few days late posting this clip, but “Key and Peele” on Comedy Central looks like it’s going to be hilarious. I wish I could let my inner “Luther” loose more often! If this were a real job in the Obama Administration, I’d be all over it. I am a master at reading between [...]

Bombing at Laffs On The Harbor

I had my worst sober onstage performance ever last night at Laffs on the Harbor. The event was really nice, and I would definitely recommend the show to anyone.
