I'm a humor ghostwriter and stand-up comedian based in Greater Toronto, splitting my days between writing for founders and executives and my nights on stage. After eight years as an advertising copywriter, here's what has my attention right now.
Turning audiences into customers with email courses
A lot of my writing work right now centers on Educational Email Courses: simple, automated email series that tell a founder's story and keep them top of mind without the follow-up fatigue. I build these for talent agencies, keynote speakers, and live entertainment brands so the right people remember them long after the first hello. I've also been writing about why investing in an executive's personal brand is a real marketing initiative, not a vanity project.
Doing the reps on stage in Toronto
By night I'm performing stand-up around Toronto, and I keep coming back to the idea that comedy is just the gym in disguise: you only get better by putting in the reps. Lately I've been thinking through the difference between performing jokes and actually being a comedian, and unpacking three lessons I picked up from Dave Schwensen, a 30-year comedy veteran.
Bringing more humor into business
The double life isn't as separate as it sounds. The storytelling skills I sharpen on stage are the same ones that keep a business presentation from losing the room ten minutes in. I'm increasingly interested in helping entrepreneurs and speakers put a little more humor into how they present, so their message actually sticks.
If any of this sounds like your kind of problem, you can find me on LinkedIn.
