Doing Stand Up Comedy In Salem, Oregon
I’ve been doing stand up comedy for the past six years. I’m originally from the Seattle area, but I have been living in Japan since 2003. There is a comedy group in the city of Nagoya, Japan where I live that does shows once a month. This was pre-Covid 19 of course, but even still we were able to put on a few shows in 2020 and have done a few in 2021.

The Killer
The hairs stood up on the back of my neck, I had just turned on Solid Gold radio and Matt Monro was singing ‘Walk Away’, it was a song that had always conjured up strong images for me every time I heard it, memories of Sunday and ‘Two Way Family Favourites playing on the transistor radio which sat on the windowsill of our kitchen, I sat back and could actually smell the roast beef and hear the vegetables simmering on the gas stove, I could see my sister sat there, her arm in plaster and all the messages written on the cast, and I remembered the Killer.

No Regrets
I was ready for the business world after I graduated high school, to move into the work field, spread my wings and fly successfully toward adulthood. I had a fresh young mind with a new outlook and was ready to change the world. I strategically designed an eye catching resume that I knew would land me a job.

Coming Clean (Through My Shorts)
I don’t consider myself an easily embarrassed person, no matter how people probably wanted me to be, or saw me—too much body I didn’t know what to do with, awkward phase that lasted well into high school, being unabashedly into my favorite bands and fandoms while others were “casual” about their interests.

Blind Boy
Around the time I was about eight or nine years old, we moved back to Mississippi and were living at my Grandmother's house. Mom and Dad has split and now it's my grandma, my mother, and my baby brother living at our family house in small town USA. My brother and I had shared a room since the time we were born, and I was at the age where I wanted my own room. I was beginning to feel myself and actually thought I was the man of the house.

Grace
“We should’ve named you Grace.” My father coined this one-liner early in my childhood. I was gangly youngster, perpetually covered in paper cuts, mystery bruises, and mosquito bites. When I first met my grandmother—at two years of age—I greeted her with a face scabbed over from a fall. As soon as I could walk, I was clumsy. And man, did my dad love the subtle hilarity of sarcasm.

Here's my tongue!
Now, I have never been in the habit of going up to other people and sticking my tongue out at them. Do you do it, would you do it? Well, the answer to this question would probably (and most likely) be a resounding NO! I mean, it is not the most appropriate or acceptable activity to show off - certainly not a 'skill' to show all your friends!
