This is my third appearance at Odyssey and I'm excited  to be back. This is where I told my first story, “Shooting Blanks,” about my time as a sperm donor for my brother. I eventually performed it on 42nd Street in New York City. Odyssey has been very good to me.

From a baptism marred by my notable series of farts, I roared into the world a Catholic. In college, that den of inequity, I was convinced I was a Free Thinker. Then a girlfriend got me to be an agnostic. I stayed that way till the next thing, and may things after that. Now, armed with opinions pierced with holes, I realize I don’t know much about religion. But the search goes on.
