I came up with a knock knock joke in improv rehearsal today.

Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Hi.
Hi who?
Sounds silly!

I can only apologize.

Had the pleasure of performing in the Baltimore improv festival this weekend. Had a blast. Thank you to all the organizers and everyone who came out!

How am I doing? Well today I’m slamming assorted rice crackers 🍘

A bag of assorted rice crackers. That’s literally what it’s called.
