At Permission to Speak, you never know what stories will unfold. In this powerful moment, an audience member opens up about overcoming heroin addiction, reminding us all that there’s life beyond our darkest days. This show isn’t just comedy. It’s real, unscripted, and unexpectedly hilarious. Because when we share our stories, even the hard ones, we connect, we heal, and yes, we laugh together.

Curious that talented athletes frequently credit God when they win, but we rarely see them blame God when they lose.

On the latest episode I’m chatting with @alexwagner about her latest project, “Trumpland.” She’s taking a break from the anchor’s chair for 100 days to talk with people on the frontlines of Trump’s policies, bringing you conversations you can’t always find on TV. If you want a revealing, on-the-ground look at what’s happening, you’ve gotta check out the full episode:

Proud Rhode Islander here! I’m thrilled to be featured in @RIMonthly. They did a deep dive into my journey from class clown (sorry, teachers!) to New York lawyer, and eventually to Emmy-and-Peabody-award-winning comedian. Check out the article to find out how my interactive comedy show, Permission to Speak, came to be, and why tickets are the perfect Valentines Day gift (hint hint). Then join me March 8 at the @UnitedTheatreRI in Westerly for a night you won't forget.

I asked a gay couple how I’d do in their world, and let’s just say my wife and son had a lot of questions afterward.

I’ve been doing this a long time, but what happened during this story caught me completely off guard… One minute, we’re talking about a bad marriage and divorce, and the next....well, you just have to hear it for yourself.

Last year’s Permission to Speak at @UnitedTheatreRI sold out, and for good reason, where else can you hear hilarious Rhode Island stories about dating hot spots, Italians, and Paul’s freaky ability to guess people’s careers? Every show is completely unique, so don’t wait! Grab your tickets now for March 8th at 7:30 p.m.!
