About

I’m an award-winning stand-up comedian with a style that can best be described as Gently Savage—warm, approachable, and just ruthless enough to keep audiences on their toes. I draw audiences in with a soft-spoken delivery before catching them off guard with punchlines that are clever, unexpected, and sharp.

I’ve been performing stand-up since 2019 on stages across Canada and the United States. My comedy finds the humour in everyday life, mixing relatable observations with clever twists and just enough edge to keep people guessing. Audiences settle in expecting one thing then find themselves laughing at jokes they never saw coming.
