I'm really excited to announce a new live show I'm doing in Los Angeles mixing standup and games! We've got awesome guest comedians on the show and then we'll be riffing and playing a silly fun game with the entire audience in between sets. It's going to be one of the most unique nights of laughter out there!

I’ve never been called a Geek Boss before, but I like it! The magazine The Pop Insider wrote a big article about me and how I’m combining comedy and board games. It’s pretty rad! There’s a link to the full article in my Linktree if you want to read it.

It is with a mixture of pride and sadness that I announce that next Monday, October 28th will be our last Blind Barber Secret Show. A bunch of young LA comedians Dave Waite, Andy Peters, Nick Anthony and I started the show in February 2013 and it’s been an honor to produce one of the best live shows in Los Angeles for over a decade. There’s not many things that last for more than 10 years, and I feel really proud of that. Over the years, as some people moved away, the producing team changed to include Jono Zalay and Logan Guntzelman and then recently grew to include The Setup. They’ve all been wonderful partners and I can’t thank everyone enough for helping make this show so good for so long. We’ve had so many amazing comedians on our stage - from Dave Chappelle to Chris Rock to Maria Bamford to Ali Wong to Tom Segura to Judd Apatow and so many more. We even did some special shows at the Improv and other venues once upon a time.

Unfortunately, the show room is already full for the show on Monday, but if you want to come hang in the barbershop or have a drink with us after the show, come through. We’ll be hanging and celebrating.

Here’s some info on all the photos:

I saw this picture in a story, and apparently a new Pyramido game is on its way. The first one was great! I put it in my Top 10 Family Games of 2023. It feels like more strategic Kingdomino and you can build up so it’s got some fun three-dimensionality to it. I hope this new one will be a bit different and not just a rebranding. can we have more information on it?⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
