Got my mailbox down to 50 emails (Many of those are things I sent myself) and booked my 45th program/show for 2025. If you're looking to book a show or programs, now is the best time to get your preferred date.

Here’s what the Indian Trails Library had to say about Death Defying Acts, The History of The Circus:

I just wanted to reach out and thank you again for speaking at the library earlier this week, our members had great things to say in our evaluation survey and I've included some of their comments below:
“Great! interesting and informative. Learned lots of new things.”
“Very knowledgeable and informative. Thanks”
“Excellent presenter”
“Both [the program and presenter] were excellent. Well-paced. Kept my interest.”
Attendees also shared that they learned something new, were entertained/creatively inspired, and that they gained a greater appreciation for a culture or identity different than their own.

Stand-up comedians are human beings and the kind of comedy you write will eventually reveal the kind or human being you are. If you confuse cruelty with strength and strength with a weapon, you’re probably a pretty sh*tty human being and you're gonna make a pretty sh*tty stand-up comedian. -Dana Gould

There is no such thing as a cruel, racist or harmful joke. Those are not jokes, they are statements, and people who laugh at them are not laughing at jokes. They are laughing at cruelty, racism and harm.
