“Bi-Coastal” at DCM! Thank you to my friends for playing- it was a blast! I gave myself the goal to do Del Close Marathon in New York when I was in the hospital. I gave no thought to how easy or difficult a trip like this would be for me. I’m still using my chair as a walker. Many of the train stations and other parts of the city were not ADA compliant but I wasn’t about to let that get me down. I just figured things out as I went along. I’m thankful for life and I’m grateful for my awesome friends and family. Nothing will stop me from accomplishing my goals. Get rid of your self-doubt and challenge yourself. Thank you @edzareh @melissazakri @kerstinporter @tjdelreno for giving me a roof in NYC. (📸 @addieyomind) (at Theater for the New City)

Y'all... I had a phenomenal time performing in, working at, and laughing with #DCM19 this year. Know what's palpable? The #GRATITUDE If'n you're unaware, that's the Del Close Marathon - the improv comedy marathon that's non-stop for three days on 10 stages with around 650 shows, put on by the #UprightCitizensBrigade dope ass comedy school I've been a part of for the past couple years in precious NYC. I am SO fortunate to have performed with my awesome team #SUPREMELEADER (unfortunately sans Slammin' Sam and Jumpin' Jesse). Approval is somewhat rare, so we are absolutely heckin grateful. Perhaps most fortunate of all, I was hired to be a venue manager for the festival, specifically the party space, and it all went swimmingly. That's not to say there weren't issues that arose, but it IS to say they were handled swiftly and tough, strong choices were made due to incredible communication and the power of believing in ourselves. I had the best bosses/co-managers and the most (adjective TBA) volunteers. My body is filled with exhaustion, and my heart is full of thank you notes I'll never write. So, THANK YOU, every single person I interacted with all weekend - I look up to so many of you. I don't think I can ever repay you all for the gifts of laughter you've given me, but I'm gonna try real hard. #UCB #improv #comedy #grateful (at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, NY)

Two Segway Cops pull over a couple who are racing to get their baby delivered, with a man tied to the back of the car; a skinless man (with an affinity for tar pits) because he was being dragged against the highway road. A #DCM19 set exclusively for @billmurmaid. #metalboycandid

When your big brother, who also happens to be one of your favorite improvisers.... Happens to bump into one of your funniest friends, who's also a great improviser. And I missed it all! #dcm19 #bigbrother #funnyfriends #nystateofmind (at Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan)
