The Kickstarter for my new comedy special is officially live! Join My Kickstarter Here! A little about me if you’re arriving as a stranger: I’ve been doing stand up comedy for 23 years. I’m a curious kid from Southeast Texas who probably wasn’t...

We want what we don’t have. As a creator, I know this. My job is to make things that aren’t things yet, and I have a duty to champion imagination. I think we are exposed too early to the wonder of the world, however, and that’s why we’re unimpressed by it. All those...

Dear Heckler, Thank you for taking the time to write me. I assume this is in regard to your (birthday party/ bachelorette party/anniversary). Yes, yes. I know. You didn’t do anything at all. No, I know. You were just laughing. I mean, is there a law against laughing?...

The following is a chapter from Until All the Dragons Are Dead, a collection of stories from my travels. Waiting for the Sun I have seen more of the Middle East than I ever expected a kid from a small town in Southeast Texas would see. I won’t pretend that my time...

I have a crazy obsession with octopuses. Nothing is more unusual to me, like they were designed in a Build-a-Bear by some fearless kid. “How many arms?” Eight! “What?! You’re only building one animal here.” Yeah, so? And put suckers on...

As anyone who’s ever seen me live can vouch for, I’m no stranger to hecklers. I especially expect it from rowdy late show crowds in Texas. In Fort Worth this past weekend, I stumbled on a gem of a pair. A guy was in the front row seated next to a girl,...
