I’m Charlie, a Los Angeles–based stand-up comedian and writer. I spent six years in Chicago studying Comedy Writing and Performance at Columbia College and performing sketch shows with The Second City’s House Co. I do stand-up all over the country, including festivals like San Francisco Sketchfest, and regularly perform at L.A. venues such as Dynasty Typewriter, UCB, and The Elysian. I’ve also produced videos for Funny or Die, but I’m best known for my viral TikToks. My book, I’m Just a Little Guy: How to Escape the Horrors and Get Back to Dillydallying, was a USA Today Best Seller.

Within these pages, Paul Bog walks you through a day in his life and shares advice on how to navigate modern existence, including:
Avoiding Burnout: “For every hour of work I do, I spend three hours staring at a still life painting.”
Finding a Therapist: “If you’ve already tried speaking directly into a wishing well to no avail, I suggest talking to a wise old owl or a professional therapist (interchangeable).”
Saving Money: “I cannot save money for the future. The future is too unknowable. I can, however, toss a little coin into a nearby wishing well and hope for the best.”
Anxiety: “My only advice for limiting anxiety is to spend fifty to ninety percent of your life supine near a large body of water.”
