Using a one-of-a-kind blend of stand-up, improv and crowd work, his act stays organic, original, and always on point. He's toured all over North America and the world famous Las Vegas Strip, including stints in Vegas at Riviera, Bally’s, Planet Hollywood, STRAT, LINQ, Rio, and the MGM Grand.

An unsettling and sharp-witted cautionary tale, The Apiary warns that the key to protecting each other and the planet is right in front of us, if only we would listen. | Buy Tickets! |
