Who are you?
I’m a New York-based comedian and writer known for performing standup all over town. I’ve done a metric fuckton of comedy, including written for the satirical women's magazine website Reductress and their book "How To Stay Productive When the World is Ending", one of Vulture’s Best Comedy Books of 2023. My work is also in The Onion, The New Yorker, McSweeney's, Vulture, and Buzzfeed. I’ve been producing the Diverse As Fuck x The Onion Writing Workshop series since since 2020. Right now I’m a staff writer for BRIC TV's political comedy show "Late Stage Live! with Ella Yurman".
