For 2026, I am developing and touring a new written comedy show called The Summer I turned Orange, which blends stand-up, music, clown and some improv elements into a playful, high-energy performance. Since relocating from New York City to Dublin, Ireland, I’ve been performing this work in small venues throughout Ireland, alongside regular stand-up and improv performances.
