COMING 2026 - BUFFOON is “comedy” special running around [for] 30 minutes [for around 30 people]. It is a piece recorded in the last year of my 20s. It’s not polished. It’s something else I think, existing in its own context and world. A chapter as a stepping stone. A chapbook. A haircut. Something. I wasn’t even sure I would be releasing a “special”, but is that: special. Rolling around on the floor. Royal guards, palm reading, lint rollers, firefighting, Rob Thomas. Performance for performance sake, an attention seeking talent show. Produced by Accidental Comedy, it was was taped in a single show inside of Dunlap’s Corner Bar, in the day time in front of a live audience of beautiful people.

2023 - Ben Niespodziany invited several writers to share some form of their writing in some way. Among them were myself, CA Conrad, Vi Khi Nao, Annelyse Gelman, and dozens of other heroes. This self-produced short film is my contribution and features a piece from my small book of hybrid work called BALL PIT BUCKET FILLED WITH BRIDGE WATER. Here’s a link to the entire digital marathon.

2022 - As part of the 2022 BorderLight Fringe Festival in Cleveland, Ohio, The Small Garden was a live variety show featuring 4 ten-minute acts. I told jokes and did things among playing the Yamaha YRS-24B Soprano recorder and pretending I was a car.
2021 - The Storyworth Podcast preserves grandpa and grandmas’ stories, family narrative, and keepsake. The first half of each episode is the retelling of a story told by an actor, the second half the person it happened to talking about it.
In this episode (episode #3), I play the role of Young Bob who found himself to be the key witness in a murder trial. And he loves to bring it up.

Wowza.
