“It’s always weird trying to describe your act,” Ray said. “I can say that everything I’m talking about on stage is personal, fun and stuff I enjoy talking about. Whether it’s my nieces, or working at a theme park as Wolverine, my long-distance relationship, daily LA observations and my experiences with people from traveling all over the country, you’ll definitely feel like we’re friends chatting in your living room. Just way less creepy.”
