I’m beyond excited to share the next step in my return to standup. Last year, after 20 years away from the stage, I performed three runs of my hour-long show, THERMOMETER, to sold-out crowds in Indianapolis and Chicago. I so enjoyed reconnecting with people I hadn’t seen in years, as well as meeting new folks, and learning (and relearning) so much.

 

Fortunately and unfortunately, comedy comes from tragedy—all those little insanities, insecurities, and idiosyncrasies that bring us a quick moment of laughter as we flail our arms at the absurdity of it all, trying to avoid drowning in the Sea of Bullshit.

 

As happens sometimes, life became a raging asshole for a few months this year while our family navigated some serious, not funny things. Today, as we look ahead with renewed optimism, we’re ready to laugh again. We hope you are, too.

My dear friend, Dave Soleil (née Pinzino), once shared with me an absurd but somehow deeply wise piece of advice: Asiago cheese bread is not available at all locations.

 

So true, Dave. So true. While it may seem that nothing means anything, I believe that line must mean something. So whatever is going on in your life, I invite you to join me in Naperville on Friday, December 12 and/or in Carmel on Saturday, December 20. Let's be each other's bullshit buoys.
