I'm a comedian and do some podcast production work on the side.

I'm learning to surf and act and have been doing stand-up for over 10 years, so I'm always looking to connect with peeps from those tribes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By being a good guest and hosting when I can.
I also love when people from CS come to shows. The vibe always improves by a factor of 10 : )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed all over the Southern U.S. and it was wonderful. I stayed with such awesome people and it really prevented me from feeling isolated traveling alone. I've also hosted a few of cool people.
