Currently residing in Durham, North Carolina, he takes his dry yet mostly clean humor to comedy clubs, bars, and wineries across the Southeast.

He also hosts a comedy podcast with his best friend of over 20 years, "The Weather's Crazy Podcast".

Khadijah Cooper (Minneapolis, MN): Khadijah Cooper grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis as an only child. Working as the Education Director of a local non-profit focusing on adolescent sexual health, her confidence in public speaking coupled with her quick wit gave her the fuel she needed to burst onto the comedy scene in February 2018; making her name known. In March 2019 Khadijah was in the top 5 for the Best Comedian for the City Pages Best of the Twin Cities. In 2021 Khadijah was named one of 5 comedians to watch! In  2023 Khadijah was accepted into Limestone Comedy Festival, Big Pine Comedy Festival & 10k Laughs Comedy Festival!  Her point of view in her stand up as a mother, a Sexuality Educator Director, and someone who has confidence and comfort in her skin makes her irresistible to laugh with and relate to!
