As you’ll hear in the podcast Terrance and I became friends when I was attending The Open Mic Jam him and Andrew Geano co-hosted together at various locations. Their mixed open mic of music, comedy, poetry, and sometimes weird shit was very important to my growth as a comedian here in New England. It was one of the few places I felt comfortable enough to experiment and try the newest of new jokes. At the beginning of 2020 Terrance and his wife, Da...2020-09-031h 36

So What Do You Really Do?Kristine BlinnOn this episode of the podcast I spoke with comedian and public school English teacher Kristine Blinn. I think it’s important to hear from the voices of people who are most affected by everything that’s going on during quarantine. Who has been affected more than teachers and students? This was a fun and uplifting conversation. Kristine is one of my favorite people to talk to in the New England comedy community. She’s smart, quick-witted, and effortlessly funny. Which is infuriating because she also works hard on her comedy, despite it coming so natural to her. We talked...2020-06-011h 02

So What Do You Really Do?Laura LyonsOn this episode of the podcast I talked to comedian and law student Laura Lyons. However, before listening to the episode I feel I have to issue a trigger warning, because I don’t want to get messages of people upset about the content of this episode. On May 19th (which was my birthday), just a few days ago, I saw a very heavy post from Laura about that day being the 9 year anniversary of her suicide attempt.
