Tour / Off Broadway / New Special
Get tix to After Endgame! Or watch Diary of a Bald Kid now on AMAZON PRIME!
In one week many will celebrate Christmas through the giving of gifts. Well…I am giving the gift of Kevin one week early.
Last time I wrote to you all I was working on After Endgame and preparing to take it to Edinburgh Fringe. Well…I went, I joked and I conquered. The festival and the show went so well, I was thrilled. I got a number of 4 and 5 star reviews that called me a ‘master storyteller’ and the show ‘a jaw dropping story that enthralls and intrigues’ and one that said ‘you’ll leave with a much deeper appreciation for chess than the Queens Gambit will give you.’
The only reason any of these reviews mean anything to me is because they helped get me the opportunity to do this show off broadway which is a real thrill, because seeing a blend of stand up and storytelling off broadway is what got me into this racket 14 years ago. So please tell your friends, buy your tickets and come see me

If you aren’t in any of those cities, well…I am proud to announce my second comedy special Diary of a Bald Kid is out now on Amazon Prime to rent or buy.
It is my most joke heavy show I have written, I did everything I could to write tight short jokes and yet…when I watched the final edit before sending it off to my distributor I was like taken aback by how amidst the all the jokes about various aspects of middle school boys growing up there is a beautiful little relatable story about accepting ones self. For me that was accepting that I am into theater even if that got me called gay, accepting that I am losing my hair at 15 and understanding that everyone has their own stories from adolescence that at the time were so painful and embarrassing and now they are just things to laugh and hopefully connect with other human beings about. The final portion of the show is about a time when I got bullied and I had no friends for about 3 months. To this day they are still the loneliest, saddest time in my life, I would come home from school and cry with my parents on the couch and we would pray that the bullying would stop and that I would be able to make some new friends. This show is like getting to tell that kid that everything is going to be ok. And to be able to tell a story like that alongside stories about when my parents caught me fingering a girl and when I masturbated with a bunch of other guys when we paused the VHS of Titanic on Kate Winslet boobs, well…the Lord works in mysterious ways.
GO WATCH DIARY OF A BALD KID NOW!
Thanks folks! Love ya! Appreciate ya!
Best,
Kevin
