Which comedians influence you?
Louis C.K., Don Rickles, Big Jay Oakerson
What got you started in comedy?
My oldest brother (Brian Rees) tried comedy when I was a teen, and he is the funniest person ever. He made it look fun, and he showed me all his favorite comedians. He has since quit, but I’m going strong.
What has been your favorite experience in comedy so far?
I got to perform 5 shows at Skankfest South. The greatest time of my life.
What's a day gig horror story?
Comedy is like alcohol, if you’re doing it before 7:00 pm, you got a real problem
What year did you start doing comedy?
5 and a half years ago (somewhere around 2017)
What did your family say when you told them you were becoming a comic?
They really didn’t care. They support my dream, maybe because they haven’t seen me do comedy yet.
Is everything allowed to be joked about?
Yes
