Hey Everybody! My name is Pete Stegemeyer, and I'm a stand up comic who got his start by telling jokes around a garbage fire in Afghanistan. What started as a way to blow off steam and cheer up my buddies after patrols has turned into me releasing my first stand up comedy album, Pete-T.S.D.
In it I cover my time in the military, but also my struggles with PTSD and the steps I've taken to seek help and get treatment. I'm hoping that it helps other veterans (or anyone struggling with PTSD) to destigmatize getting help for themselves and that we can make a meaningful dent in the number of troops we lose to mental health issues every day. Also, it's pretty funny and I've got a story about Screech from Saved By The Bell.
Profits from the sale of the album will be donated to help fight veteran suicide because that's literally why I got into comedy in the first place.
Pete-T.S.D. comes out on November 11 because I love a good tie-in with Veteran's Day, but you can preorder it right now! so please, ask me anything, and if you need to talk, I'm here to listen to that too.
Proof: Here's my proof!
