Surviving Froot Loops!

My Comedy Set at The Grisly Pear in Manhattan, NY

[WARNING: this comedy set is rated R for language and content]

This is 5 minutes of all-new comedy material about my recent journey with “Froot Loops” aka “The Big C”. You’ll learn why I prefer to call it a rainbow-flavored cereal, and also why I was a bit confused by the “Caring Binder” my medical team gave me on my first day at Froot Loops School, so to speak.

I hadn’t been on a stage since October 2024, and it felt so good to be back! The team at Laughing Buddha Comedy really made me feel welcome, and the audience was great. Special shout out to my friend and fellow comedian Stephanie Goldklang for hosting me in the city. You’ve got to check out her comedy, go follow her on Instagram - here’s her IG page.

I’ve got another 20 minutes of material I’m developing, and will be refining all of this through various opportunities to get on the mic and share with the audience.

Laughing in the face of fear, I am reminded of one of my favorite Ray Bradbury novels entitled “Something Wicked This Way Comes.” At the penultimate moment when Evil might triumph over Good, our unlikely hero father Charles Halloway refuses to give in. Instead, he cajoles, he cackles, he veritably sings out against the darkness of death, and he and his son bring their friend back to life with sheer JOY. I first read that book when I was a kid, but somehow I knew, even then, that this story would help me for years to come.

It’s important to use all avenues of healing, but please remember the most important ingredient of healing is Attitude - your attitude will make all the difference. So, as Charles Halloway cried out to his son Will:

“Get up! Get off your knees, damn it! Jump around! Whoop and holler! You hear! Shout, Will, sing, but most of all laugh, you got that, laugh!”
~Ray Bradbury - Something Wicked This Way Comes
