His irritations with the inane instances of life & love have left him ranting and raving on stages across the world for over a decade. In that time, Zach has been featured at stand up festivals such as 10,000 Laughs, Limestone and Gilda’s Laughfest where he was named one of the “Best of the Midwest”. He, regularly, shares the stage with some of his favorite comedians including Rory Scovel, Chad Daniels, the Sklar Brothers and Sean Patton (among others) and he has released two comedy albums (Skunkman & Not the Worst Dad) that debuted at number one on the comedy charts and are, regularly, spun on SiriusXM. And now, after working for a third of his life on the material, Zach is filming his debut standup comedy special at the Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase. Don’t miss what promises to be a night that, at least, Zach will never forget.

"Hands down one of the best places to perform in the country. It's how a comedy club is supposed to be! It's in a basement, it's dark and the audiences are great. The AA Showcase offers a talented variety of comedians and they are supportive of the local stand up scene."
