Heads up for parents: if you’re visiting my site because your kids like Invisible Boy, listen to my comedy first before letting your kids listen to it. My comedy is generally pretty clean—I have kids too, and try not to say anything on stage that I wouldn’t say in front of them. BUT I didn’t always have kids, so some of my older clips are less clean. For instance Dad Max, which was recorded in 2023, is cleaner than A Delicate Man, recorded in 2016. My son was actually at the Dad Max recording, and he was eight at the time; I would rate it PG, but like I said, please listen first! Also most kids probably won’t like my comedy, since it’s for adults, not kids. But who knows, maybe your kid likes jokes about doing taxes and driving the speed limit.

America’s Got Talent

“Doogie Horner: America’s heart-warmer-in-chief?” —Time magazine

I was a semi-finalist on season five of America’s Got Talent. Within the first thirty seconds of my audition, half the audience—1500 of the 3000 people in the Hammerstein Ballroom—started booing me, but by the end—well, you should just watch the clip yourself to see what happened.

I ended up advancing much further than I would have expected, performing four rounds on the show and making it into the semi-finals, where I was defeated by an old Dutch man playing a harmonica.

"Horner's delivery has a formal yet sing-song cadence to it that fits nicely into the way he delivers crafty one-liners with nerd-like precision." —Jason Heidemann, Chicago Tribune
