We Moved It Once, We Can Move It Again

A night (well… afternoon) of history, humor, and hometown survival

Less than a week after getting fired for posting my Christmas show PUT YOUR CLOTHES ON, YOU’RE IN MIDDLETON NOW on the credit union intranet, the Middleton Historical Society invited me to speak.

About Middleton.

Specifically: the time it was basically an island — surrounded by floodwaters the city fathers hadn’t planned on. So what did they do?

They moved the town.

Away from the river…
And straight into the flight path of migrating Californians.

Now nearly 10,000 people live in what was once a peaceful oasis.

This afternoon blends real Middleton history with humor, resilience, and a few theological liberties. We’ll talk floods, reinvention, civic courage — and whether Moses and the Israelites ever made it to New Plymouth after the mill burned down.

We’ve adapted before.
We can adapt again.

History. Comedy. Civic survival.

Live large. Be bold. Have faith. Fear nothing.
