Writing​

In the midst of his most painful moments, Clayton found solace and strength in writing. It became his greatest ally, empowering him to do two crucial things the world often discouraged:

​

  1. Tell the true story of his experiences

  2. Process the emotions tied to each of those moments​

​

The honesty he brought to the page not only helped him survive but also allowed him to reflect on his long healing journey. Each of his newsletters captures the lessons he is currently learning, offering a glimpse into his ongoing personal growth. Through his writing, Clayton aims to build a community where others can find the freedom to express themselves and heal through the written word.

Comedy

​

Clayton kickstarted his comedy journey at Second City in Chicago in 2021 before making the leap to Austin to chase his comedic aspirations. Since then, he's been a fixture on stages across the city, competing in numerous local competitions and even producing his own shows.

​

What began as a personal coping mechanism has blossomed into an opportunity to share hilarious tales from his past. Clayton invites audiences to join him on an erratic yet surprisingly well-constructed journey, where he turns life's quirks into comedic gold and invites everyone to laugh along.
