You may not read all of this but that’s ok.

Back in November of 2025 I decided to make a special. I had offers but I wanted to make it with full artistic integrity and ownership. I knew this would be import and and I didn’t want just anyone owning it.

I hired @dangerworks and my good friend @rockpaperwolf to produce/do production . I asked my friend @maureentaran to produce creative and help make it come to life. Then I was able to hire my friend and creative powerhouse @sellenit to design a set that would blow your mind. My friends came together and made it happen.

Then more friends came to make an incredible special: @danaxe put together Sellen’s dream with the team at @brooklynbloomsnyc . @chasethatpadgett came in last minute as audio engineer and candelabra expert. @pura_chingonerias came in and was a helpful hand in every way. @micaela.joelle made my hair look incredible and I’m still wearing the extensions. @aimeeavilesmakeup who did my makeup for the last special made me look beautiful, @mrseanpatton opened both shows, @shawnatnight took incredible photos, @jonagua was an expert AD and the entire production crew was professional and made this thing look so impressive my face hurts from smiling.

But of course this special doesn’t get made without the over 300 donations made by fans, friends, family and my angel investor @stevecranecomedy (look what you did buddy!!) and to my buds who FLEW OUT @lilithanne @fingeretta @calebczeringue @silentchris love you !

My heart is still SWOLE from ALL THE LOVE. Truly. I cannot thank yall enough for all the work and love you put into this set. I know my sister was there with us. Thank you thank you thank you.

Over the last month I’ve gotten to see a bunch of live events and various performances around town. And while I may sketch quickly, I am apparently pretty slow when it comes to actually posting them on social media. There is something so special about capturing the magical moments of a show with a live sketch.

Most of these sketches were gifted to the performers after their shows. My way of saying thank you to them for entertaining me and sharing their talents on stage. I love my funny little hobby. ✍️

1. @p.sparklelive 10 year anniversary show
2. @emilyfontano “Against her wishes”
3. @chasethatpadgett “how to play guitar poorly”
4-6. Erika MacDonald “Tea Time” for Outfest
7. “Hot Mess”
8–10. @tushvstymisha “Q the Legends”
11-12. @leecohencomedy_official comedy show
13. @looselipsorlando September show @lil_indies

Against Her Wishes is a semi-improvised, musical, comedic and irreverent farewell that invites audiences to grieve, laugh and celebrate. How to Play Guitar (Poorly) features beloved Orlando musician and actor Chase Padgett in a solo comedic cabaret exploring his lifelong relationship with music through story, song and a few unforgettable improv moments made up on the spot.

Thank you @edmontonfringe for the vibes, the stage, the community, the laughter and the learnings. It was a wild 3 weeks and I learned a shit ton. So cool to meet other artists from around the world on the same journey and to share our stories, art and more.

Here’s a dump from the last week or two. From catching my poster in the wild, taking a moment to fuel well, sharing tickets with artists in the green room, new friends, going to CBC to chat about the show, opening night flowers from the lovely and incredible @lisaflanaganvoice, singing with strangers in the street, ICE CREAM, catching shows and ICE CREAM, it’s been lovely.

We perform in Calgary this Sunday and closing out this leg in Vancouver and Hamilton.

This work has been a labour of love. I am so thankful for everyone who has seen the show, shared a review, told me their story, told a friend about it, or came back and saw it again. Thank you for making my first Edmonton Fringe one to remember. You’ll definitely see me again.

S/O to @kjthemuppet for having my back on and off stage and being a continual source of laughter, perspective, insight and lore.
