STOKED
With one month left on the tour, and I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all 1300 of you who have volunteered your time with us at food banks and food drives across America.
Our little arms combined have re-packed and distributed 55,500 pounds of food to our North American neighbors -…
This is amazing.
To take the route she has taken and do with her reach what she has? To IMMEDIATELY think, “How can it make this be something for the greater good.”, then be so passionate, and personable and inspiring that it culminates in this? Amazing. So much respect for her.
As the young woman I was talking about women with would call her? A Shero.
THE ALBUM IS DONE. We recorded four shows earlier this year, and 44 comedians, then cut and mixed it and threw on three sketches, and here we are. (It was MUCH more difficult than that sounded. Don’t worry.)

When I was a young, naive college student, I took one Intro to Feminism class and I did what a lot of new feminists do: I completely misunderstood the ideas behind it.
I decided to reject being “feminine” entirely. I stopped wearing skirts and dresses, wore band shirts (they only came in men’s sizes back then) and combat boots exclusively, and thought of makeup as a tool of the patriarchy. Yeah, go ahead and roll your eyes.
I took a job at the library, and was pleased to realize that one of my childhood friends, Jeff, worked there too. We’d lost touch over the years, and in that time, Jeff had transformed from a quiet, sci-fi obsessed boy into an outgoing gay man. Not only that, but he’d gained a new passion beyond Ray Bradbury: drag. (Imagine being a drag performer in the tiny gay clubs of North Carolina, if you will.)
