What I’ve Done

All sorts of stuff. Mostly storytelling, for which I cracked the list of Top 100 Guests on Maximum Fun (barely). I’ve done standup comedy with some degree of competence, and I’ve also hosted a show or two (once with a terrible cold). I did a solo show in 2015. I once won a bag of candy at a slam. That’s about it.

The Stories

This is my creative output (or at least what’s been recorded) since stumbling upon storytelling as an art form in 2010. Most employ a standard story structure, with a few exceptions.

Modern Stories Mix

[tabby title=”Producing”]

I record, produce and host the tragically neglected and woefully under-promoted (yet 5-star rated) Modern Stories Mix podcast.

I did the sound design for Susan Kent’s solo show, Into the Belly of the Beast, as well as for my own solo show.

I also served as story consultant for Lori Baird’s solo show, My Parents Are Dead and I’m Okay With That.
