On October 14, I’m officially a traveling showman as Scott Piebenga and I head to Denver, Colorado. We’ll be presenting a showcase of solo performances, both our own original pieces and variety acts from the Denver area. If you’re around the Mile High City, come by the Voodoo Comedy Playhouse and check us out! Tickets […]

LA Trip a Success!
I spent the last weekend in Sunny Los Angeles, and it shows. My neck and arms are BRIGHT red, and feel hot to the touch. It’s the first time I’ve thought of using the word “sere” to describe skin. It’s the byproduct of the car rental place upgrading you to a convertible. Which was awesome. […]
“Curtains” Showing at LA Shorts Film Festival

What’s Going on with the CostaCoast show?
So our first show out of the gate was a wild success. Every single act more than delivered to a sold-out crowd, and I have tons and tons of people to thank for making it happen… The scheduled second performance, however, was dead in the water almost before it began. After failing to notice I’d […]
Springtime and Relationships – an essay
Springtime is nice, isn’t it? Everyone seems to look forward to those first light-jacket days and birdsong mornings. Spring is like watching Game of Thrones in reverse – “Winter is Leaving!” But it’s also full of false hopes. Themes of rebirth and resurrection make you think you’re going to start to take charge and fix those things you’ve always […]

You’re not lost, you’re right behind me,When this road forks take either way,No matter what I know you’ll find me,I won’t give up, I can wait all […]
