In 2016, Shane's interest in psychedelics led to a sold-out 111-city tour, documented in Psychonautics: A Comic's Exploration of Psychedelics. This evolved into a visually immersive comedy experience created with 20 artists and VJ Michael Strauss, launching as a residency at Area15 in Las Vegas in 2022, followed by a 170-city tour in 2023.

His latest project, TRIPS, is a two-part psychedelic comedy special filmed at Meow Wolf—blending stand-up, immersive art, and science into one mind-expanding experience.
