About Me

Improviser/Teacher/Writer (in alphabetical order) at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York.

Things I'm currently doing:

I perform improv with "Reuben Williams" every Saturday night at the UCB Theater in NYC.

I am performing sketches I've written with "Krompf" in "The Ol' Factory" pretty much every Monday at the UCB Theater in NYC. Some videos we did are here: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Krohmpf

I'm writing for the forthcoming "Onion Web Video Project." It seems to be shaping up to be what you like about the Onion, without so much reading.

Sketches I wrote are being performed by other people in "Sketch & Awe" at the UCB Theater in NYC.

I may possibly go to wherever you're at to perform improv with the UCB Touring Company.

Sometimes I just stand around and don't do anything...at the UCB Theater in NYC.
