Preliminares was a stand-up comedy tour done in bars in 2018, with the goal of creating and preparing my second solo “Só de Passagem” that premiered in 2019. The whole tour was filmed with special focus on the backstage and now one episode per city will be released, in a sort of documentary format where there's not much to learn. This is not a project created with the goal of generating laughs or even teach anything and a lot of what is said shouldn't be taken very seriously.

The Angry Video Game Nerd is an adult web television series of comedic retrogaming video reviews created by and starring James Rolfe.
