How would you describe your comedy style?
I don’t know how to describe it, I feel like it changes a lot. I still haven’t really found my voice yet. I can be dark, silly, whimsical and stupid all at the same time I guess.

Theo Von, Hannibal Buress, Tyler Cassidy, Tina Fey, Stavros Halkias, Adam Mckay
Who was your favourite comedian growing up?
Jeff Foxworthy and Jeff Dunham
Who is your favourite comedian now?
Theo Von
What is your pre-show ritual?
I do tongue twisters and touch all the teeth in my mouth with my tongue. Usually, I also try to talk with someone and get them to laugh so I’m already in the flow.
What is your favourite place you have performed? Why?
