Why do you do comedy?
I have been obsessed with standup since I was a kid. I knew I wanted to do it from a young age but it can be such a scary thing to do. Once you get over that fear you realize it’s all your 12-year-old self wanted to do.
Where was your first open mic and what was it like?
Donnell’s (Vancouver, WA)
Who is your favorite comedian, dead, living, or cancelled?
Shane Gillis, he is a shining example of “just be funny” and you’ll succeed
Favorite Mic To Perform?

Favorite Mic To Attend?

Do you want to be a stand up comic/comedian as your career?
Yes (I am, or am trying to become, a full-time comic)
Based on your previous response of yes, no, or maybe; please tell us why?
Stand ups that make it as a career do have work ethic. I really appreciate work ethic and at most jobs you’re just surrounded by lazy, sloppy losers. I want to be surrounded by lazy, sloppy winners.
