  • Similar to my sounds and sips event of years past, this was a great time to get together and enjoy an unstructured flurry of sounds and tones that I think is an amazing environment to feel alive in. And a great time to play my clarinet!      

  • My first improv comedy uke set in public! It was really fun. I’ve done this at parties at my house. It felt good having a mic– it changed the way I performed. And audiences of people I don’t know probably helped. The way they are more generous with you if they don’t know you. They…

  • Michael Dooley who has performed at two events that I’ve helped produced was very generous and hosted a jam with me and Sean Real. I haven’t had a lot of free improvisation jam sessions. This one was so lovely, I already miss it. There’s a lot of sweet comradery that comes with improv. We were…
