Nathan

You might be saying to yourself “this guy, again?”, and I don’t blame you. But much like the boys from backstreet, I’m back. If you don’t get that joke, perhaps a knock-knock joke? You fill in the blanks and let comedy magic happen— “Knock-knock.” _____ “Hike.” _____ “Great execution. You fell right into my trap. Comedy genius.”
Now that you’ve been thoroughly warmed up, time for some live theater! Nathan is obviously excited to be back for yet another summer. He’s studying at Utah State and intends to attend law school after he graduates. He is loving life with his wife and little girl and isn’t sure how it could get any better, but is hoping it does! Thanks for coming and enjoy the shenanigans.
