Hey folks, I’m going live on the internet today with my old buddy Jake Goldman. He’s running a marathon show today to promote other artists with stuff on Bandcamp, as they’re doing a grande fee-waving to support all of their artists.

I’m in the process of relocating to Michigan, though, so I haven’t had a chance to complete an overwhelmingly massive entry here about the gigs I did down there. They were great, and I met a lot of fantastic Aussie and Kiwi comedians. I also brought … Continue reading
