hey there. okay, first things first - i cohost a podcast with the sublimely hilarious Gastor Almonte. it's called The War Report and it was Gastor's idea. He thought it would be cool to talk about current events with me. i don't know how his brain works but here we are. we've done quite a few episodes - i'm not sure how many because i don't handle the numbers. or the sound production. or the research. basically, i show up, turn on my mic & webcam and prepare to talk with with gastor. my contribution is very valuable. you can listen - actually, you SHOULD listen - but you can also watch: gastor tapes us every week and posts the videos on his YouTube account. here is a link to those. the episodes hit the streets every thusday, with a bonus episode on mondays. check us out!

HAHAHAHAHA! oh wow, it's like i disappeared for over a year, huh? my goodness. well, what's going on with you? okay, but for real, though - while i spent most of 2020 hiding out in my home (like all of us SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING, AHEM), i still managed to get some stuff done. i told jokes over Zoom! i started a podcast with the fantastic Gastor Almonte! i rediscovered sweatpants! today i woke up and thought, "time to get my life together." that might be a side effect of the covid vaccine, but i'm still going to give it a try. and i'll start by updating this bad boy. if you're here, thanks for finding me. if you've been here, thanks for sticking it out.

guess who's on the list? no, guess again. nah, again. who? do they even DO comedy? okay, i'l give you a hint... it's me. IT ME! i'm on the list and i'm so very grateful.

here's how my weekend's looking. when i get a minute, i'm going to compile some stuff i've done over the past few weeks. podcasts, articles, etc. a nice little one stop shop for all my...huh. i don't have a name for my fans yet. well, for the tens of you, there will be some stuff.

just call me a day late. as long as you call me! i need sleep. here are my shows 8/13 - 8/19. shows of note: 8/16 - the lab @ friends & lovers in brooklyn. that's experimental comedy from black comics. it's the brainchild of kenice mobley. i went to the first one last month and it was fantastic. i'm doing a character that relies on my knees working, so prayers up, y'all. free show. 8/17 - tinder live @ littlefield in brookyln. hosted by lane moore, three comics goof on tinder, but like, right there, in person. i don't trust algorithms but my ovulation week begins that day so it would be nice to pull some strange, hahaha. lordt. 8/18 - macauley culkin show @ bell house in brooklyn. brett davis, sally burtnick, and "macauley culkin." these shows are wild, but this one is notable because for perhaps the first time, it will be happening in a venue with air conditioning.

hey there! once again, a lot of shows in a week. gotta get the word out about this album. for more show details, like addresses and stuff, go to the side menu and click "shows shows shows" for my calendar. take care of yourselves. it's rough out there.

hey, y'all. i'm doing a lot of shows over the next week. for more info - and by that i mean the venue addeesses - scroll down on the side there and click on SHOWS SHOWS SHOWS. that's my show calendar.

hey there. do y'all remember a few months ago, when i recorded a new album? well, here's the front cover. "so you just out here?" by me. coming soon.

hey, what's up, hello. last year, baron vaughn asked me to do his upcoming tv show, The New Negroes. so i dusted off my (seemingly) dirtiest material and i told some jokes. the weekly series will begin friday, 4/19 at 11pm on Comedy Central. please please please check it out. the powers that be have decided to release the hounds (the hounds being my entire set) a little early. i can't properly express how thrilled i am to be on a comedy central show. i am super proud of it. enjoy.

tonight i will be on 2 dope queens on HBO. it will be my first time doing a proper comedy set on national television; jokes i wrote, agonized over, forgot and remembered. i've been at comedy for 9+ years. i'd love it if you'd watch one of my assignments tonight. friday. 02/15/2019. 2 dope queens. HBO. 11pm. if you don't have live HBO, it'll be streaming afterwards, so wrangle up one of the 13 passwords that's floating around the nation and check it out.

okay. in one week i'm recording an album. my second album. that is wild. i'm going to release it on my girl shonali's label, little lamb recordings. shonali & i go back like rotary phones and i'm honored to do this with her and jason lam. we're recording at union hall, in the park slope neighborhood of brooklyn. i've got my dude rufat agayev hosting the show and my all-time ace courtney fearrington opening/warming it up for me. that cow artwork is courtesy of charlie rohrer. i'm excited to make an album. i'd love to do it in front of you. again, union hall in brooklyn. sunday evening, january 27th, at 7pm or 9:30pm. 10 bucks, shawty. if you're a planner, here are ticket links. SEVEN! NINE THIRTY!
