The show is fun and appropriate for the whole family, with tickets at an affordable $20 each. His clean yet fresh approach by using everyday life occurrences creates a hilarious interaction with the audience that is unscripted and unplanned. Each show is sure to not only bring laughter, but encouragement. This hopeful, honest and hilarious style of comedy will leave audiences inspired to give and serve others. Additionally, surprises will take place during the critically acclaimed comedian’s highly anticipated “Break Time” that shouldn’t be missed.
“My goal with this tour is to get people to act,” explains the stand-up comedian. “I always want to make people laugh, but then what? You see, in comedy we have a set up and then a punch line, and it is the same with life. We go through our days looking at how we advance our career, how we grow and support our family but we often forget the punch line: the delivery of life. I want people to think about what they are giving out to others and encourage them to step out and help others and make a difference.”
