Ellen’s Last Stand…Up Comedy Tour keeps on rolling along! As a full-time fundraiser and benefit auctioneer, I’m honored to be bringing my mix of comedy, entertainment, and auctioneering to massive theaters around the U.S. as a part of Ellen’s final tour. I was also a part of Ellen’s ‘Relatable’ tour which we performed in San Francisco as well back in 2018.

Having worked for Ellen for over 17 years, I was thrilled to get the call to open for her one last time on this tour. Taking the stage before Ellen, I do part comedy, part warm-up, and part auctioneering. It’s so cool to be able to show off my fast-talking skills, which I’m now showcasing for nonprofits in Nashville and beyond.

The Masonic Theater in San Francisco was one of our biggest shows with Ellen to date.

Bonus: I got to spend some time with my family out that way.

Up next we are heading to Seattle, Boston, DC, Philadelphia, New York, Toronto, Nashville, Charlotte, Chicago, Durham, and Minneapolis!
