Started in comedy in Mar of ’04. In 2005, took second runner-up in Portland’s Funniest Professional. On April 27, 2006 won the title of Portland’s Funniest Professional. Hosted and performed all over southern Maine --- Sanford, Bangor, Belfast, Lewiston, Bath, Brunswick, Portsmouth, Portland as well as several benefits and clubs in towns in between. Toward the end of ’06 and into ’07, I began playing at the Comedy Connection in Boston, the Comedy Studio in Cambridge as well as some venues in RI. Moved to Lowell, MA in Dec ’07. I'm playing from Portland to NYC and everywhere in between. Hoping to continue that trend and make some new friends along the way!
