Last Chance for Montreal Workshop!

May 12th, 2026 | Posted in General

I’m doing a last pitch for my Montreal workshop this week… I’m way short of my minimum number of students needed so this is a rare one that might get cancelled unless we get a few people onboard.

Sketch o’the Week- Rod Stewart!

April 8th, 2026 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

ATTENTION: ROD STEWART IS NOT DEAD! I’ve gotten a few DMs on social media that some people are being first alerted to the death of a famous figure via my latest “Sketch o’the Week” post, so I want to make sure everyone knows Rod is not dead (as far as I know). He did just turn 81 in January, so he’s neither a “Young Turk” nor “Forever Young” these days. That said he’s still breathing and in fact scheduled to perform at the Minnesota State Fair on Sept 1.
