This will be the third year in a row that something wonderful will happen to Portland this spring. There will be a festival that will take over the Hawthorne street and over a hundred talented people will mingle and perform. It is something special. Some of the comics are nationally known, others nobody has heard of, but all of them are awesome. This festival has a special place in my heart, not only because it is where I was able to work up the courage to ask my wife to marry me last year but because it is an awkward circus of dreams that celebrates the thing that I feel I was made to do. I am looking forward to the great performances and the fellowshipping with people I don’t get to see enough of. I am glad to be part of this. If you have the ability to make it to Portland this is something you should do. If you happen to attend, find me, high fives and hugs will be on me.

I will be hosting 4 shows as part of the Holiday Triple Header at Annex. The Comedy Fist Fight will be an evening of phrase-off’s involving Seattle’s amazing performance community along with prize give-aways and other nonsense. It will be wedged between a puppetshow and a play about a gang war between nuns and priests. Good times will be had.

Seattle’s Annex Theatre is one of my favorite places to perform. When they asked me to take part in Not Pants!, a story telling showcase with a story of its’ own, I was delighted.

I will be telling true stories of my youthful misadventures on the Friday the 13th and Friday the 20th that may or may not involve witchcraft, my deflowering and the KGB. Each show will have a handful of some of Seattle’s finest performers. Please consider attending and supporting live performance.
