My Summer of Discontent Comedy Tour

They gutted the FAA time to fly

I’d love if you got tickets to a stand up comedy show if I’m in your city. If not yet, add my bandsintown for when that happens. I also had an incredibly inspiring weekend performing poetry with characters and comedy that I plan to build on after this stand up tour in the fall. It’s a tough summer for everyone and quite frankly I’m not sure I could comfortably afford to attend my own comedy shows both financially and in anxiety. But this past weekend of book release performances inspired me to remember the power of a well meaning creative ceremony no matter how warped its been by capitalism. And I remember how fifteen years ago before I did stand up comedy, I would attend shows to feel better about a break up and how it worked like magic. Laughter, healing. The only problem was that while sitting in the crowd I had such an irrational fear of the comedian talking to me in front of everyone and asking what I did for a living that the only safe way to avoid that scenario was to become the comedian myself.
