## Caption

Today marks 14 years since I first stepped on stage as a stand-up comedian.
Felt like the right time to share some memories and shout out the people and moments that shaped this wild ride:
	1.	Eastville Comedy Club on E. 4th St. – The very first stage I ever touched.
	2.	Caroline’s on Broadway – The first club I ever headlined. A dream come true.
	3.	Baltimore – My first road gig. Shoutout to Ivan Martin for the opportunity. All I had was my self-produced show Productively Stoned as my only credit.
	4.	Jordan & I became homies from bumping into each other at random Brooklyn parties. We started Productively Stoned together at Karma Lounge.
	5.	Eva – The first (and maybe only) person I ever encouraged to try stand-up. Nine years later, she’s a beast on the mic. So proud of her.
	6.	The Apollo Theater – That’s when my parents finally gave it up. Took 8 years, but I got ‘em.
	7.	Pandemic pivot – Came back to Brooklyn after an L.A. move didn’t pan out. Doubled down on Productively Stoned and built it bigger than ever.
	8.	Desi Johnson changed my life by putting me on tour with Renny as the host. That experience made me a better comic and a better person.
	9.	CP and I linked up – never looked back. One last hang with Jak Knight at P.S. meant everything.
	10.	Chris Redd is one of the few comics who wants the guys around him to be killers so he can go even harder. That’s real.
	11.	David and Ethan – My guys. David been behind the scenes, encouraging me and pushing me to be great from day one. My brother for real.
	12.	Me and my OG finally touched the Comedy Cellar stage.
	13.	Rocking prospect Park was a dope ass memory.
 14.  The Comic Strip Live where I learned to really believe in myself no matter how much they fronting on you. 
  15.  I had an 18 month run at the Soho Playhouse where I had the best 420 comedy show in America. Anyone who went to Productively Stone at the Soho Playhouse will let you know how late it was. 
 
I’m stepping into the next chapter with even more heat and more love.

Big love to all my friends, family, and everyone who’s been part of the journey.
14 years down—and I’m just getting started.
