San Pedro, California · Comedian & teaching artist
I do stand-up comedy, produce live shows, and teach people how to find their funny.
I’m the founder of Mental Stand Up, where I bring performers, local spaces, and audiences together for comedy and live storytelling in San Pedro.
The work
Available for performances, hosting, show production, private coaching, and workshops.
Original stand-up sets and an attentive host for comedy, variety, and community events.
Lineups, show flow, performer coordination, venue collaboration, and the details that help a live show run well.
Support with joke structure, revision, timing, delivery, stage presence, and building a short set.
Selected credits
A few of the shows and spaces that shape my practice.
Community arts
My work grows from San Pedro’s performers, gathering places, and neighbors.
Through Mental Stand Up, I’ve developed and promoted community storytelling programming with The Garden Church in San Pedro.
I facilitate a community writing club with prompts, timed writing, optional sharing, and peer feedback.
