Can you keep a secret, Pensacola?

You didn’t hear this from me, but Don’t Tell Comedy is popping up again with a secret stand-up show this Friday in Pensacola, Florida!

The fun of DTC shows is that you won’t know the location or the full lineup until show day. It’s both mysterious and hilarious, and I may or may not be headlining, but that’s just between us! 🍸

The random, unconventional location is always a surprise - even to me!

So trust the process, grab your friends, and let the comedy find you.

See you Friday!

7:30 p.m. doors | 8 p.m. show

Pride comedy show in Ames

What a robust evening of comedy we had at Morning Bell Coffee Roasters in Ames, Iowa on Sunday! This venue does an excellent job of showcasing the local art scene, so it felt good performing in a space with such great energy.

I had a fabulous time making laughs with Timothy Overton, Matt Lamb, David Olson, and our host and producer Jessie Vrba. Hope we all cross paths again very soon!

Thanks to the MB staff for taking good care of us! The coffee bags with our faces on them were amazing!

Lastly, thanks to our wonderful audience for coming out and sharing some joy after such an extraordinary week.

Until we meet again!

Next stop: Pensacola, Florida!

Our final show in The Netherlands was Monday Night Laughs at Paleis Van de Weemoed in Amsterdam's famed Red Light District. We had the most beautiful audience from all over the world, including some folks from New Orleans, Florida, and nearby Canada!

The French girls who sat up front kept me on my toes! I love this club!

Thank you to our host, producer, and fellow American Kendra Borgen for having us! It was wonderful sharing the stage with her, the fabulous Kim Wadsworth, Daria Morozova from Russia and Georges Degoumois from Switzerland (not pictured, but with us in 👻). Killer sets delivered by all!

International stand-up comedy in English thrives in The Netherlands because of laugh makers like these!

Thank you also to Marvie, Papi, and the staff for the post-show laughs and hospitality. Grateful to share these comedy adventures with you!

See you in November!
