Remember The Alamo
This devised show at The Neo-Futurists was written by Nick Hart and directed by Kurt Chiang. I played Phil Collins. There I am in the back. This show got great reviews and Time Out Chicago called me "Droll". This was a real fun show.
The Stranger and The Shadow
A devised puppet show for children, written by Kay Kron and produced by Rough House in collaboration with Adventure Stage. A sci-fi horror story about how fear turns into violence. I played Braxton, the bully. This was a real fun show.
The Arrow
A reoccurring show at The Neo-Futurists that combined prepared essays with improvised theatrical happenings. I was in The Arrow Returns (2018), The Arrow Cleans House (2017), The Arrow Builds A Lab (2016), and The Arrow Drops Anchor (2015). These were real fun shows.
99 Problemz: An Improvised 90's Sitcom
This was a long running monthly improv show at The Playground. Each night we would improvise a new episode of the classic 90's sitcom: 99 Problemz, which followed the wacky adventures of a group of video store employees. These shows were always really fun.
We also performed at The Laugh factory, The Annoyance, and Second City's Up! Comedy Club.
Dad's Bath
A series of monologues from a series of dads in a series of baths. I produced and performed in this dad-based comedy/performance art show at Public Displays of Altadena. This was a real fun show.

13 Love Songs
A variety show at The Hideout, produced by Hot Kitchen. 13 artists each responded to a different love song. I wore a suit and rapped about mammal testicles. This was a real fun show.
Beerfly Alleyfight
Every year Drinking and Writing Theater hold a variety show / beer brewing and art competition. Lauren Vogel and I were paired up with Greenshirt Brewery and we came up with a 3 minute musical about the history of beer that won best in show! Got trophies and everything. This was a real fun show.
