Before the "pandemic", I was booked almost 6 months in advance with private events like large corporations' celebrations, private birthdays, roasts, auctions and other speaking engagements. Now, I am re-booking, the rest of the year and the bookings are rolling in. As of early June, I am booked through September, except for a few dates. Please keep in mind, last-minute events can sometimes work out, but generally, a minimum of 30 days in advance is required.
