Claude’s explosive, in-your-face, rapid-fire, madman stage style is truly an exhilarating assault on the senses; and it has evoked comparisons to golden era physical comedians such as Steve Martin, Robin Williams and Jim Carrey.
Cladue’s Drybar, Tubi, & Open Bar Comedy Specials have helped me earn over 285,000 followers; I write for the TV show “FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK” starring Howie Mandel and Tiffany Haddish; I recently filmed a movie with Sean Astin and John Cleese; I just performed standup on TBN’s “HUCKABEE” show; and I’m starring on the Amazon Prime show, “HIGH LAND PARKING”.
Claude’s credits include “THE TONIGHT SHOW”, “THE LATE, LATE SHOW”, “THAT 70S SHOW”, “SCRUBS”, “WILL & GRACE”, “LAST COMIC STANDING”, “LAST MAN STANDING”, and “COMICS UNLEASHED”.

Birds of Play is an Americawna Roots Collective based in the San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado. Their distinct sound is rooted in and inspired by their connection to the land in which they reside.
Their arrangements and compositions reflect their vast and teaming pools of inspiration from artists such as Wood Brothers, Punch Brothers, Andrew Bird, Watchouse, and Gregory Alan Isakov. Birds of Play’s high-caliber musicianship and song craft are laced with imagination and a vibrant, intuitive understanding of the human condition – while their live shows weave together an intricate tapestry of place, authenticity, magic, and humor.
The core of the band is Alex Paul (guitar, banjo, mandolin, vocals) Anneke Dean (violin, guitar, vocals) Charles Parker Mertens (upright bass) and Jack Tolan (guitar, mandolin, vocals) with a rotating cast of special guests and honorary Birds.
