I like to write and perform in funny things; mostly pop culture and TV-related. Here are a few of them.
Adapting
A pilot I wrote and produced, Adapting is the (mostly) true story of an advertising copywriter and his life coach wife who, after dealing with infertility and breast cancer, begin the emotional, difficult and surprisingly ridiculous journey of adopting a baby. It's a journey that will test their wills, their love, and their ability to make sarcastic comments to each other without being heard by other people. It's a comedy based on my experiences with the adoption process, which is the most wonderful, awful, rewarding, gut-wrenching process anyone can go through (although we did end up with an amazing daughter after it was over).
We Love TV takes on The Muppet Show
I co-wrote (and co-starred in) a brand-new, live episode of The Muppet Show for an ongoing series that I created called We Love TV. This episode was hosted by Michael Torpey (Orange is the New Black, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon).
Denied from NY - 3/10 cold open
In 2017, I submitted a writer's packet to SNL. I did not make it. But, my fellow writer Giancarlo Mariutto and I decided to put up our sketches for an audience, and thus was born the show Denied from NY. Here's the cold open I wrote.
We Love TV takes on Parks & Rec
I co-wrote and produced a new live episode of Parks & Recreation as part of the We Love TV series at the Peoples Improv Theater.
