Hi everyone. Welcome to my website. I’ve been doing stand-up comedy for almost 20 years and there’s nothing I love to do more in the world. Please have a look around and demand I work at your local comedy club. Thanks for being cool and enjoying stand-up comedy.
“I’ve been watching headliners from my spot in the back of the room for a decade. One comic only, with one bit, dropped me to my knees: Maggie Faris and “Scissors.” Maggie is a 10. Bring your knee pads. – Michael Callahan, 2nd Story Comedy
