Exciting this is public now: I’m writing and show-running a comedy series for Audible, with Bryan Tucker (SNL) and Broadway Video.
It’s called “64th Man” and will star John Cena as a football player who’s barely not good enough for the NFL. Like an actor searching for his “big break”, he’ll take any gig, no matter how sketchy, in hopes of getting the right exposure.
10 episodes, audio-only. Should be fun!
I co-wrote the new season of the web series Draftsville for NBC Sports and The Kicker. It's a Friday Night Lights parody about fantasy football.
The new season includes Darrell Hammond, Chris Redd and Zach Gilford ("Matt Saracen" on Friday Night Lights). It was a fun one.
Here are the season 2 episodes:
I won a spot in the Screenwriter Colony's comedy fellowship. This is a really cool program, officially called the "Episodic Comedy Colony", in which four writers are selected to work in Nantucket for two weeks, developing their own pilot with guidance from showrunners and other mentors.
I will be working there on a forthcoming pilot "Parentheses."
I wrote a comedy pilot script that is one of 13 comedies selected for the 2018 New York Television Festival.
Winners will be announced at the festival in mid-July.
Natasha Vaynblat and I won a Made In New York Writer's Room fellowship for a pilot we wrote. Very cool opportunity thanks to WGA East.
Wrote this sketch in a couple hours and it was shot that very afternoon by Tom Levin, as part of UCB Sketch Cram. Always a great time.
Launched a new series for The Kicker. It's called "Hardest Job in Sports". Check out the first few episodes here. Adam Sacks directed.
Wrote a new sketch show with Kristy Lopez-Bernal, Lisa Kleinman and Langan Kingsley that debuts at the UCB Theatre this week, May 12.
It's called "F*ck Nostalgia" and it's a weird, meta show about how our dumb culture over-glorifies nostalgia. Come check it out, it's a good time.
Wrote a new batch of episodes of the series "Big Thick Ideas" for Above Average. Check it out.
Big Thick Ideas, a web series I wrote and produced for Above Average with Adam Sacks, debuts today.
It's a parody of those YouTube explainer videos that are everywhere. Enjoy!
Red Autumn, a web series I wrote and produced for IFC with Natasha Vaynblat, debuts today.
We'll also be introducing one episode at the IFC Showcase tonight at the PIT Loft.
Back on this week's episode.
I appear on season 2 of Steven Soderbergh's The Knick. I play a multiple-episode role as a drunkard named Wendell.
The Kicker, a new sports comedy website from Above Average that I contribute to, has officially launched. (link)
"Eastern Block", a pilot script I co-wrote with Natasha Vaynblat, was selected as a finalist in the SeriesFest pilot competition in Denver. (link)
A sketch I wrote was accepted into UCB's "I'm Cool" showcase.
The showcase, for UCB's best stuff in the last year, is Monday March 3 at 8pm at UCB Chelsea (307 W. 26th St.). I'm honored to have something in it.
My piece is a sketch from Maude Night called "Spanish Class Homework". (Here's an earlier performance of it.)
"Good Dads" --the sitcom pilot I co-wrote, -produced and -starred in with Michael Kayne, Nathan Russell and Adam Sacks--screens this week at the New York Television Festival.
The pilot is about three modern fathers who--contrary to the clueless, bumbling Dads typically seen on TV--are present, invested, and ready to kick parenthood's ass. Trailer here.
We're thrilled to be a part of the festival.
Screenings are:
Monday Oct. 21, 730pm at Tribeca Cinemas 1 (54 Varick St.). Tickets here.
Monday Oct. 24, 845pm at Tribeca Cinemas 2 (54 Varick St.). Tickets here.
I'm one of the writers on the inaugural MovieCram at UCB this Saturday. A lot of really talented writers, directors and actors are working together to make a feature-length film in 24 hours. Insane idea from the SketchCram guys.
Should be a fascinating product, at the very least. Tickets here.
My sketch group, Beige, performs this weekend at the New York City Sketch Festival. Our show is 10pm, Friday Oct. 4 at the People's Improv Theater. Tickets here.
