Hi – this is Trey! I’m supposed to tell you all my accomplishments in this bio but there’s NO way anyone would read that. I just hope you come to my show and bring your friends and family; this is my favorite show I’ve written yet. You can check out my most recent special “GROW UP” on Hulu or my Youtube channel. I promise to give you a good time and in return I just ask for your thoughts and prayers – I’m bringing my wife and 2 kids under 2 on the tour bus. See y’all there!
