Skateboarding in the UK, Comedy in Amsterdam, Trans Ideology Inspired Violent Extremism (TIVE)

Join me for a big life update that spans stand-up comedy, skateboarding, and some deep cultural reflections. 🌍✈️🎤 I performed at the Comedy Mothership in Austin—one of my best sets yet—before flying to the UK for The Skate Retreat, a week of skating, coaching, and unplugging in the woods. From there, I spent a few days in Amsterdam, where I unexpectedly jumped on stage at a queer bar when the scheduled comedians canceled, turning it into a spontaneous 24-minute set.💬 Along the way, I reflect on the assassination of Charlie Kirk, online discourse, and the troubling rhetoric around “eradicating transgenderism.” I share my thoughts on free speech, safety, and why nuance matters more than ever.✨ Personal updates include:Preparing for hair restoration this fallUpcoming comedy gigs in Richmond + a 3-month Austin stayChristina P (comedian + wife of Tom Segura) following me on InstagramGratitude for family, community, and all of you supporting this journeyThis episode blends travel, comedy, advocacy, and real talk about where we are as a society.
