Does this guy do comedy?

Before I answer that, I’m gonna tell you about myself.

I’m a Chicago Based Comedian who is rapidly approaching completion of the Comedy Arts BFA Program at the Theatre School at DePaul University. I’m a performer, writer, cinematographer, director, and otherwise contributor to a wide variety of Comedic Productions.

When it comes to the comedy I make, I often find myself making what I call "Nerd Comedy". When I work on that type of comedy, what I find most important about it is ensuring that it doesn't fall into an all-too-common pitfall of disconnect from what might be an unfamiliar audience. I try to make any show I do with Nerd Comedy elements work for anyone who might end up in the room, not just people who are in the know.

I create art with the goal to bring joy to myself, my friends, and my audiences by sharing a collection of my personal interests and observations about the world. I’ve found that it can often seem fruitless to be dedicated to spreading joy, but I believe that one of my strengths is the ability to move past that initial instinct and remain optimistic in support of the people and topics I love.
