He was an Exchange Place Teller at the National Storytelling Festival in 2018 and in November of 2018 he made his NYC stage debut Off-Broadway at the SoHo Playhouse with his shadow and flashlight ghost story play “13 Dead Dreams of “Eugene.”  He is a featured teller at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in September of 2020, and will be a featured teller at several fests, including the Cave Run Storytelling Festival, in 2022. Paul has well over 7 hours of unique family friendly stories in his repertoire. Always adapting to whatever audience is in front of him, Paul has told stories in every imaginable environment, from comedy clubs to elementary and middle schools, corporate events and even two prisons – where he was NOT an inmate at the time. Selections from his comedy performance “Levels of Difficulty” can be heard every day on SiriusXM radio.
