Stand Up Debut at Laugh Camp in St. Paul

November 8th, 2026

Another dream came true tonight: a comedy superfan my entire life, I have actually never personally done stand up comedy, despite spending countless hours of my existence onstage.

I changed all that by visiting Laugh Camp in St. Paul and debuting my “tight five” during an open mic, a set I was proud to present in my first appearance as a comic. I emphatically did not bomb, I had so much fun, and it definitely lit a spark in me.

I put my cell phone in the corner of the stage to capture it, and I captioned it if you want to listen/watch/read along. I intentionally didn’t tell anybody where I was going tonight, so don’t be mad at me if you didn’t get an invite! Nobody did. It was a roomful of strangers and other comics, and it was a sublime experience.

Watch it here:
