Tour Blog 08 - An Unneccessary Stop

🚗💨 Ever wonder what it’s really like to be a road comic? Spoiler: It’s not all laughs and limelight—sometimes it’s gas station dinners, questionable motels, and whatever the hell just happened in Texas.

He made it out of New Orleans (barely), dodged any more snow, but ran into a robot and heard way too much of the R-word in Texas. The gigs, the grind, the chaos—it’s all here.
