I'm a Finalist for Best Comedian in the 2026 Best of Chico!
(How to Vote)

Last year, when I first got back into comedy, if someone told me my name would end up on a ballot in Chico one year later, I would’ve assumed it was a petition to ban me from the open mics.

Well, earlier today the 2026 Best of Chico finalists were announced, and I officially made the ballot for Best Comedian!

I’m genuinely stoked to be recognized alongside other great performers. But I’m not going to play it cool… It would mean the world to me if we could bring this thing home together.

If you’ve come out to a show, shared a laugh, or hung out at an open mic with me this year, I’d be honored to have your support.

Voting is super quick and takes about 30 seconds:

👉 Vote for Best Comedian!

Thank you all for showing up, laughing, and supporting live comedy in Chico.

Let’s do this! 🤘🤘
