Chief Sad Officer / Host

Years ago, I wrote and performed a one man show called “Invisible Now”. I had the idea for the show when I had gone through a particularly dark period. My anxiety was overwhelming. I was exhausted at all hours of the day. I was feeling as though I was losing hope and I just wanted it to end. Luckily, we realized that the issue was something was interfering with my medication. Once this was righted, I started to think about all the things I had worried about in that period, and for my whole life. I had a thought: Wouldn’t it be funny if I did a show where I just talked about all the weird shit I’ve been afraid of?

Behind Beautiful Things springs from this same well. When I did that show, I hoped that by sharing my weird shit, people would feel less alone; hoped, even, that they might feel comfortable sharing with someone close to them their own weird shit.

Here’s some more of my weird shit.
