My short (very short!) comedy film "Meanwhile On Broadway..." is screening this Thursday at Quickie Fest III at Anthology Film Archives! It was directed and edited by Philip Emeott and photographed by Chad Heird. I'm really excited to see it on the big screen. Come see it and a bunch of other really exceptional one-minute movies at this festival and competition! Cool judges, prizes and drinks! Tickets here.

We'll also be bidding a tearful farewell to a couple of beautiful teammates, writers Kristen Bartlett and Alex Traynor, and our tireless and gifted director, Hunter Nelson. These three folks are ridiculously talented human beings and we're going to miss them.
Look out for our new lineup for August 1st!

It's been a blast so far working with this team of veteran sketch comedians at the world-famous UCB Theater NY. "Mama's Gotta Go" is a very special bunch and we're not afraid to parody the hell out of anyone who holds a boombox in the air to express love.
Our next all-original half-hour sketch show is on Monday April 18th at 9:30pm and is only $5! It sells out fast, so get your tickets here!
