Lots of new people on here so I thought I’d say hi! I’m an NYC based comedic performer, writer & DJ. I teach comedy at Second City and have written for Sesame Workshop and Archie. I’ve been producing, directing and performing with Story Pirates since 2007. I’m thrillingly gay.
OMG, the new Madness boxed set is so great. Such a lovely summation of an incredible body of work from one of the most joyous of bands. Listening to it while working and the live version of "Our House" came on, I got teary-eyed. Am I going to shell out $100 for the 4-disc import? Yeah probably.

I was just saying to a friend that I don’t know if the Muppets really work in a modern context and maybe I don’t care about new Muppet projects. WELL I CARE ABOUT THIS VERY MUCH. Happy to be proven wrong

Zoran’s win is a sign. It’s a manifestation of the will of the people, saying ‘no more bullshit.’ We’re sick of the establishment ‘left’ that every other first world democracy would consider center-right.
Do you want cool shit like Canada/Australia have? Elect more people like AOC & Zoran.

this is what happens when you make the Looney Tunes free for all. access to the Looney Tunes is a human right. Tubi should be a public utility.
According to Tubi's head of acquisitions, "LOONEY TUNES" has become one of their "top-ten best-performing series," and is popular with viewers across generations.
He says they are in "active negotiations" to ensure that Tubi can be the home of Looney Tunes for "quite a while — likely years."

It’s quite impressive how Mamdani has pulled almost every Dem into his coalition, not him into theirs. He keeps the door open for everyone but true enemies (Adams, Cuomo) & rather than try to extort a Hochul into a promise, he just puts her onstage & lets the popular will confront her. Amazing.
Governor Kathy Hochul is speaking on stage, but the crowd keeps interrupting to chant #TaxTheRich

Those stories were really fun to write! I wish people still had access to them. A casualty of all these storytelling apps coming and going. I’d love to work with the Archie characters again!
A few years ago, when storytelling apps were hot, I wrote a few licensed Archie Comics horror stories and I am still endlessly amused that they did this well. I wrote three out of four of these, along with @louiepearlman.com

Bye-bye Mayor Cop, a piece of shit loser who sacrificed your neighbors to ICE so he could spare himself the prison term he deserves. He leaves behind a legacy of closed libraries, escalating unaffordability, off-the-charts police corruption. An oleaginous creep only liberal pundits could respect.
