A Legacy of Range and Rhythm

The Comedian’s Comedian
With a resume that reads like a “Who’s Who” of comedy’s elite, I bring the sharp timing and professional poise required to support top-tier touring acts. I have had the privilege of sharing the spotlight and opening for some of the most iconic voices in the industry, with including Lewis Black, John Pinette, Mitch Hedberg, Billy Gardell, and Mary Ellen Hooper. I understand the craft of the opening slot: it’s about being high-energy, respectful of the clock, and leaving the audience primed for the headliner.
If you are bringing a tour through the Michiana area, you can count on a veteran performer who knows exactly how to handle a microphone and a crowd.
