I’m a writer and performer based in Toronto. I spent the first decade of my career writing comedy for TV + radio, and performing my award-winning solo shows all over North America. Now I make podcasts. My four narrative series Sea of Lies, Wild Boys, Dr. Dante and Go-Boy! are available now (say it with me) wherever you get your podcasts.
