ABOUT

I am a comedian, illustrator, writer, and creator living in Chicago.

As a visual artist and writer, my work revolves around pain, grief, trauma, and recovery. The goal is to convey the inspiring grandeur of suffering in situ by focusing on individual microcosms of lived experience.

In 2017, I completed the illustrations for The Tarot Restless, a complete overhaul of the classic tarot deck set in a morbid fantasy universe. I also wrote Restless Meditations, a book of interpretations and short stories that accompanies the deck. In 2021, I released a third iteration of the deck with a fully re-imagined book and 30+ new cards.

Now, I'm working on developing THE RESTLESS universe into a table-top role playing card game of the same name. Like the tarot deck, I'm writing, designing, and illustrating every aspect of the game myself.

As a comedian, I weave frantic, punchline-dense sets with intense storytelling, presenting a grim but invigorating and poetic take on the frustrations life, death, and the world at large.

I've opened for Kyle Kinane, Sam Tallent, and Dave Ross, appeared on Crom Comedy Festival, Beast Village, Des Comédie Festival, The Omaha Comedy Fest, Savage Henry, and I was curated to perform on Altercation Comedy Festival. I headlined The Human Extinction Comedy Tour in 2021, The Kind and Reasonable Men tour and the And Also With You tour in 2022.
