Comedy Night Fundraiser with Clay Hausmann

This hilarious one-man comedy show was born one August afternoon when 22 years of parenting came to a sudden and thankless end. These same children…the ones who thought pushing a garbage can 100 feet to the curb  qualified as “doing chores”…the ones who considered your leftover pizza “available for anyone,” but their party size bag of pita chips (that YOU paid for) not to be touched…just up and left for their $80,000/year college. Thank god you hung onto the streaming service passcodes, otherwise you might never hear from them.

Now it’s just you and your wife. The kids have been gone for a month and you’re out of topics.” Does she really want to know if I think she looks good in that pair of overalls?”

Welcome to Empty Nest and All the Rest.

“That was the most impressive thing I’ve seen in a long time. It was so polished, so funny, and so thoughtfully composed. I’ve watched comedians work over the years and not get even close to where Clay was last night.”

“I am totally drop-jawed. The stories. The timing and call backs. Bravo! Amazing performance. Honestly.”

Clay has performed his unique brand of comedy, insight and storytelling to audiences of as many as 1000. He has appeared on KGO-TV, ABC Radio, and in Fast Company. He is the author of four screenplays and was a finalist for the Sundance Screenwriters Lab in 2011.

And he is now officially an empty nester.
