I need to get bug spray. Both of my ankles are surrounded by 360 degrees of bug bites. I’m taking it as a compliment. I’ve got some sexy ankles. Everyone wants a piece. Come get some, bitches. Boy, life is good right now. I’ve been finding my groove out here in all sorts of different … Continue reading Turning Obstacles into Opportunities

Performance Through Trial and Error
Holy smoked salami is it a beautiful day today. The weather in Austin is very interesting. It’s super nice one minute and then pouring penis the next. The weather app will say it’s going to be 79 degrees and then it turns out to be 100. It’s kind of fun. I always get a chuckle … Continue reading Performance Through Trial and Error
Poop
I think I’m going to order a tea. I need to figure out if it makes me shit myself or not. Speaking of shitting yourself, I found a name for my potential memoir some day: Between the Poop. A story about the things that happen in between running to the bathroom. I’m sitting here right … Continue reading Poop

Finding Success on Stage
Last night was… amazing. I was able to get on stage two times for the second night in a row, and both of my sets went extremely well. The first mic was at a dive bar in Pflugerville, about twenty minutes north of Austin. It’s exactly what you would picture if you thought up a … Continue reading Finding Success on Stage
Falling Forward

On Thursday I ended up going to two mics expecting to perform but neither ended up actually happening. I think … Continue reading Falling Forward
Managing Comedy and Mental Health
Shooby dooby dooooooo. I’m feeling great today. It’s a far cry from where I was just a few days ago, because I was nottttttt doing well. I knew that moving to a new city on my own, not knowing anyone here, and pursuing stand-up comedy would provide me with challenges, I just wasn’t sure exactly … Continue reading Managing Comedy and Mental Health
Marriage and Relationships
I’m at a cafe staring at a post next to this table. A bunch of people have written all over it. Most of them are couples. Kyle and Natasha, J and J, Josh and Tiff 4ever. Then you have everything else, from “poppin’ pussies 4 life,” to “you are loved.” I think the main message … Continue reading Marriage and Relationships
Getting Weird and Finding My Crowd
Holy smokes do I love Austin. It’s only been a few weeks, but I feel completely at home here. I came here not knowing a single person, but I’ve already made so many friends and met so many interesting people. I was invited to the most incredible gathering this past weekend by a new friend. … Continue reading Getting Weird and Finding My Crowd
Open Mics and Meeting Friends
Where am I? What is happening? Whose chair is that? What a whirlwind of a week it has been. I tell you what, I tell you whatttttt. I went to four open mics last week in three days and totally burned myself out. That and having too much caffeine. I'm super sensitive to caffeine and … Continue reading Open Mics and Meeting Friends
