Making Funny, Making Art. Mostly on a Stage. Often with Words.

Hello Friends! Let's make something together!

I’m a jester for this world, and speak truth wrapped in beautiful, colorful, glittery wrapping paper that is fun for everyone to open. I want everyday to be a disco. I will suck you into Non-world as soon as I start talking. My rainbow pop aesthetic colors even the most dark and dirty jokes into a celebration of life. My infectious laughter creates, holds, shares, nurtures, expands, breaks down, and takes up space. I am a slut for all art-forms, dipping toes and mixing-and-matching in any way that I see fit; Stand up, playwriting, music, sketch comedy, visual art, whatever works. I will hold your hand as we escape together from the land of should and run towards lands of would and could. I want our hearts to beat in sync.

I have shared laughter at Edinburgh Fringe Festival as part of Japanese comedy group Jaru Jaru’s “ARIGATO”, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Diverse AF Festival, Persisticon, NYC Sketchfest, Nasty Women Unite Fest, Asian Comedy Festival and various basements/warehouses/spaces around the city that have a stage and mic. As a playwright/solo-performer I presented “N. Butterfly” at NYC SOLOCOM Festival, and “The Bath Play” at New Ohio Theater’s Producers Club. I’m the marketing director of Rat Queen Theatre Company, and can also be found screaming over punk rock ruckus as the front person of First President of Japan.
