Happy New Year! Happy New Year GIF by Vinnie Camilleri Happy New Year Everyone! Apologies for the delay over the holidays — I’ve been working hard on some new projects I’m very excited about!!! George Primavera and I wrapped up Season 1 of We’re All Gonna Die with SMOSH, and what’s especially exciting is that we’ve been asked to develop four more shows for them next fall at much larger venues! We need to wait until next fall for these shows because I’ll be at the West End doing The Guy Who...

It's ok to relax Resting Hedgehog Seriously Now, I know I need to take a dose of my own medicine here, but sometimes I forget why Goku is the strongest. Why is Goku the strongest? Goku rests.

Surprise! Hello everyone! Happy Saturday! When we ran the Kickstarter for The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals: Reprised, I set a big goal: if we reached 10,000 backers, I'd give away an item that was very personal to me, - one of the two original Wigglys that I own that were from the original production of Black Friday.

REALM I have known George Primavera for a couple of years now. I met him over the pandemic, and I knew right away - I needed to work with this man. I saw him DM on Hero Club, and listened to their incredible podcast, and I knew when it came to running a DND campaign, he was second-to-none. Luckily for me, he invited me over to his apartment once a month to play DND with some of his friends (which really was the escape I needed in the middle of a pandemic, getting laid off, and a lot more...

Issue #1 GOTCHA! Good Morning or Evening to All! Some of you have been waiting for a while for my newsletter to begin and here it is! I have been juggling a lot and actively trying to transition into a comprehensive creative life, and I'm almost there.I had meant to start this newsletter while I was rehearsing The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals: Reprised! — so I figured a great subject for my first newsletter would be talking about the show, specifically each member of the cast and why they all...
