Underground standup comic based out of Austin, Texas by way of New York. I've been doing stand up since I was 16, and have appeared on Comedy Central, Troma Films and the Vans Warped Tour. I prefer to play music clubs, dive bars and coffee houses to comedy clubs, and do so whenever possible. I'm also the publisher of the international punk zine Altercation Magazine, run Altercation Records, write a DIY alt-comedy column in Amp Magazine and oversee / headline / book the Altercation Punk Standup Comedy Tour. Whew.
Some folks I've shared the stage with - Doug Stanhope, Jeanine Garofalo, Henry Rollins, Todd Barry, Brian Posehn, Daily Show's Rob Riggle, Tim & Eric Awesome Show, etc.
Some festivals I've performed on - Vans Warped Tour, The Fest 8, Fun Fun Fun Fest 08-09, SXSW, Texas Oi Fest 09, etc.
