I plan on including links to my YouTube channel, where I'll eventually create a video series about John Roy's Free 12-week comedy class. My aim is to make the content more interactive and engaging than reading a Tumblr blog, while also offering insights and perspectives from someone who's taken the course multiple times but isn't a pro. I also want to interview comics in my area to get their perspectives and examine other comedy resources on the internet, providing my own spin on the advice and content I find. For now, I have a fun clip of me performing at a smaller venue during an open mic night, which is a good example of how I like to perform on stage.
Out of town visits help me strengthen my material. I really enjoyed opportunities at the Lincoln Lodge theater in Chicago and Harrisburg Comedy Zone in Pennsylvania.
I produce Harm City Comedy with 3 other comedian friends. We aim to highlight up-and-coming talent in Baltimore city. So far, our shows average about 50 attendees. If you are interested in performing on a Harm City Comedy show, please reach out to our social media team.
