Hey John,

I’ve started a new phase in my life. An experiment of sorts. It turns out I have ADD. People have told me this for years but I never believed them. I’ve been lucky to get a lot done in my life, but I often feel down on myself for not tackling my to do list well or prioritizing what’s important. So I have decided to try going on Adderall. Today is my fourth day and I love it so far. It makes me feel very focused. Maybe a bit more serious too. But I’m on top of things more and feeling like I’m getting more done. I feel weird about it though because I’ve been an ADD doubter. I even have a joke in my hour special Neurotic Gangster saying that ADD is not really a real thing, and that if you can’t focus on things you’re just an asshole. So consider me humbled. (It’s still a funny joke though).

Benefit for you of me being more focused? My comedy shows will be even better! So I hope you join this first one in my new medicated phase! My virtual show at Nowhere Comedy on Zoom, "GLEIB OFF THE TOP: Crowd Work & Improvised Madness” is doing a special one time only matinee show this Saturday at Noon pacific, 3 eastern. Tickets are available HERE. You don’t wanna miss it. My special guest is one of the best improvisers out there, Justine Marino. You can be on or off-camera, but either way you’ll be laughing lots. And there’s also a VIP experience after, an intimate meet and greet where I tell stories and answer any question you have. All of this from the comfort of your home.

I’m also continuing my “Descent into Madness Tour” in-person standup tour at the end of this month in our nation’s capital, Washington DC, September 30 to Oct 2. You can get tix HERE.

Then Valencia, CA October 16, get tix HERE.
Phoenix, AZ November 18-21, tix HERE.
Dallas from December 3-4, tix avail HERE. And Vancouver December 16-19 tix HERE.

Will I see you soon?
