He has also performed Stand-Up, Improv, and Sketch comedy at all the theaters listed above as well as many others, opening for comedians such as Bob Odenkirk, Anthony Jeselnik, and Amir K.

A LACHSA theatre student himself, he worked as an Intern at JASH, a comedy production company founded by Sarah Silverman, Reggie Watts, Michael Cera, comedy duo Tim and Eric, and producer Daniel Kellison.
