Ellen’s Last Stand…Up Comedy Tour is putting in one heck of a memorable week! 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.

Having worked for Ellen for over 17 years, I was thrilled to get the call to open for her one last time. 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 selling skills, which I’m now showcasing for nonprofits in Nashville and beyond.

Tonight we had an amazing night in the stunning Academy of Music in Philadelphia. Ellen absolutely crushed this show, and I was just proud to be up there on stage with her. This might be the most beautiful theater we’ve been in on this entire tour.

Up next we are heading to New York, Toronto, Durham, Charlotte, Chicago, Nashville and Minneapolis! Enjoying the ride!
