I love performing in a hopefully entertaining manner all over the gaff. I've been working with both kids and adults, as an actor, musician, writer and stand up comedian for almost 10 years now, adding more strings to my bow as I go. I relish the opportunity to get involved in any project that is either fun, or helpful - preferably both.
