                                    Come see a show!

                                    Come see a show!

I have sworn fealty to the comedy kingdom of iO West.

I'm very excited to be performing on a sketch team once a month at the Del Close Theater.

Our shows are every second Sunday at 7:30 pm.

I am resisting the urge to say something terribly funny here because I'm saving it for the shows.

 

Wrapped - ESPN commercial shoot

I recently had the pleasure of working with delightful actress Caroline Macey (Grey's Anatomy, Party Down, Medium), cinematographer Charles Papert (Key & Peele), and director Behn Fannin (Bitchy Resting Face, music videos galore) on a commercial shoot. 

I got to play a Jason-like serial killer, swapping gruesome deaths for silliness. Everyone involved was a delight, and I can't wait to see if ESPN has the good sense to pick it up.

New Content - 'Kick Back' photos and music video by Mustard Pimp (Dim Mak Records)

Mustard Pimp brings us a niche banger with their neo-gabber song 'Kick Back', and for their music video Behn Fannin resurrected the 90's in this love story between Erica McIntire and me. Lucky for us, Caroline Macey stopped by the set and snapped some shots.

Check out what VICE magazine has to say about it.

 
I won’t even try to explain all the weird things going on in this video.
