I hope to one day see you live. This is like the equivalent of seeing a Puscifer show to see one of my favorite bands put on a full blown theatrical performance, but for my favorite storyteller. You even have natural standup skills. Totally awesome. This is so rock’n’roll, dude. Great performance!

I wonder if he liked receiving the actual “ooh’s”, and “awe’s” and laughs from a live audience. I know he sees thousands and thousands of “likes” all the time, but I imagine it’s gratifying to see people in real life, actively enjoying his storytelling. This type of storytelling is so mentally refreshing for the modern person who is just constantly barraged with artificial visuals. Thank you Mr. Ballen!

I know it’s early days for the tours you are doing, but Would you ever think of taking the tour overseas? Or is your audience predominantly North America? I understand language barriers may affect possible locations. But would you consider the UK, australia or New Zealand for example?
