Years ago, I asked myself
“What can I do in life that I’ll love even if I never get paid for it?”
The answer
Making people laugh.
For over 30 years, Nazareth has been bringing laughter where it's needed most.
So I took the stage at an open mic night at a California comedy club, in front of a crowd of nine drunk guys.
By the end of the night, they were literally rolling on the floor laughing (seriously one fell out of his chair).
Fast forward to now: I’ve had the chance to tour nationwide, performing on TV, at stadiums, in prisons, at homeless shelters, in mega churches, and more.
Why? Because to me, laughter is more than just a fun experience.
A good laugh can pick you up when you’re at your lowest. It makes you feel connected to total strangers. It makes dark times feel a little brighter.
And once I found Christ, it became an even more powerful tool to make the world a better place.
Sure, I’m here to make you laugh. That part’s a blast.
But more importantly, I’m here to inspire, spread joy, and bring comic relief to the places it’s needed most.
