The Glacier Videos (with song)

I made two short videos that document that melting of the giant glacier in my refrigerator. Part I gives an overall explanation of the galcier's history and our new and improved melting methods. Part II is a music video featuring the "Glacier Song" that I performed on guitar (entirely improv'd by the way). I hope you enjoy these.

The Hostel Comedy Show

We are coming up on the three year anniversary of the day that I began running the "Hostile Comedy Show". For those of you that aren't familiar it is a standup comedy show that takes place at the biggest hostel in the world -Hostel International. It is located on Manhattan's upper west side. I've been lucky in that over the years I have had a pool of great comics to book from and the foreigners - at least the ones that spoke English the night of the show - have been receptive.

my new viral video

My friend Jeremy's short film...

is nearly complete and will be submitted to upcoming festivals. I helped out on the set and I can honestly say it was a wonderfully talented group of video filmmakers. You can watch the trailer below on YouTube.

I Performed in Boston...

...over the holidays at Nick's Comedy Stop and Dick Doherty's Comedy Vault. It was fun to be back home on a couple of the stages that I began telling jokes years ago.

new CRAPPER video is up and running

My creative friend Jeremy and I have just finished producing the latest installment in the "Crapper" series. In this latest episode (number 4 in the series) Tumbleweed, the world's first "Crapper" (country rapper) gets some insightful advice from a legit New York City emcee. Stay tuned for more chapters in this musical mockumentary series.

I produced a comedy show at a Drug Rehab Center

...last week. My stand-up comedian buddies and I put on a free show for the patients at a live-in 24 hour drug rehab facility in Jamaica, Queens.(From left to right: Cooper Rego, Ben Boime, myself, and Scott aka "Hogwild". Between the drug rehab and the hostel I really seem to have a handle on how to make money telling jokes, haha. (that was sarcasm btw)
