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 had a fantastic opening night and tonight continues the first full run of my new solo comedy show! It's a decade-by-decade journey through the creeps, freaks and deplorables of rock 'n' roll history. Visits from con artists, Klansmen and Morrissey are to be expected.

June 20 at UCB Theatre: Get ready for the latest installment of "Mama's Gotta Go" on Maude Night. We're performing a brand new half-hour of sketch comedy in our monthly series. Non-spoiler: You get to see me fly!!!
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!
