Award-winning true stories that linger like good song lyrics. As a Moth GrandSLAM champion and NPR-featured storyteller, I craft performances that move audiences from laughter to tears and back again.

Whether you need:

• A true story that makes adults laugh, then unexpectedly sigh
• A fictional tale that takes a left turn into delightful weirdness
• A kids’ story where the audience outsmarts the villain (every time)

I’ve got you covered. No flashy gimmicks, just stories that linger like a good conversation.

For Adults

True Stories
Real-life tales from my own misadventures, like living in a yurt for 2 years with a newborn. Perfect for:

• Themed events (comedy nights, podcasts, or gatherings where people actually listen)
• Crowds who like their humor warm and their endings satisfying

Fictional Stories
Imagined tales that might include:

• Fairy tales made for grown-ups
• Traditional folktales
• Gentle audience participation (because sometimes the crowd has better ideas than I do)
  Ask about custom stories for your event. I love a creative challenge.

For Kids

I treat young audiences like co-conspirators in storytelling. Options include:

• Interactive Tales (Should the hero take the bridge or the slide? You decide!)
• Workshops (Where kids learn to turn “What if…?” into full-blown adventures)

here’s how it works

Performance Options

• Featured storytelling sets (10-45 minutes)
