NATIONAL TOURING COMEDIAN

It sounds so cool. And it is. Until you ask us WHERE we travel. Unless you are a superstar, its to towns with populations less than 10,000 or "fly-over" cities. As a midwest comedian, I can say 50% of my shows are in cities located in next door states like Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan. I like to drive whenever possible - I have always loved driving - so most of my time is spend driving to and from these shows. But honestly, those are usually the best shows. You are the only thing in town to do. As opposed to cities like Chicago, where someone can go to theater, ballet, a concert or a baseball game, the comedy show in Slinger Wisconsin is THE event to be at. And that means, they are happy to be there and look forward to the show.

When I travel outside the Midwest, most of my time is in airports and airplanes. In the past 3 months, I have been traveling by plane a lot. And out of the country. Remembering gates, airports and then hotel rooms becomes tedious. After last weeks ordeal with my "first" cruise show in the carribean, I was anxious about my shows this week in Halifax for the Halifix Comedy Festival. I triple checked to make sure I brought the right passport this time (see last week's entry) and even arrived early to my flight anticipating any other possible pitfall involved with international travel. I was able to prepare for my sets this week in Chicago , which will be broadcast on Canadian television. When I get back to Chicago, I am off again to Atlanta and North Carolina. By plane.

Please keep spreading the word about my shows (it helps) and check out my special "Middlewester, Middle Eastern" if you have not already. Its almost at 10k views. Also, if you have apple music, amazon music or spotify, please considering downloading the album (for free). Thank you for reading #standup #comedian #special #livecomedy #formerlawyer
