“Every Brilliant Thing”
At Dezart Performs, Palm Springs, CA
Runs: April 3, 2020 - April 12, 2020

You're six years old. Mom's in the hospital. Dad says she's "done something stupid." She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that's worth living for. 1. Ice cream. 2. Kung Fu movies. 3. Burning things. 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. 5. Construction cranes. 6. Me. You leave it on her pillow. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. A play about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.

"A heart-wrenching, hilarious play...One of the funniest plays you'll ever see about depression - and possibly one of the funniest plays you'll ever see, full stop!"
-The Guardian

Thank you!!!
to the Desert Theatre League for naming me “BEST ACTOR IN A COMEDY” for Dezart Performs production of “MAYTAG VIRGIN.”
​
...You like me. You really like me...
One last and lasting image from the You Will Laugh Comedy Tour with Armed Forces Entertainment in Afghanistan. Me and 5 hilarious comedians played bases in Bagram, Kandahar and in the thick of the war-zone in Kabul. Sad to see it end. So rewarding, humbling and affirming. Spread laughter. Support the troops. Open your mind. Have a conversation. Challenge your perspective. And maybe stop sending them cookies (they get A LOT of cookies...change it up). Truly honored to have been a part of a group that slayed me on and off stage. Thanks to Armed Forces Entertainment for having me aboard and for all the troops throughout the world: You are not forgotten.
