“I’m a comedy writer who has worked on shows for Comedy Central, Cartoon Network and Disney Plus in addition to projects for Funny or Die, YouTube Originals and Rifftrax.
In the world of podcasting, I created the sci-fi comedy Bubble. It was called one of the “Best Podcasts of 2018” by Rolling Stone, Apple Podcasts and The Atlantic. I’m adapting it into an animated feature for Sony Animation.
I also co-wrote a graphic novel adaptation, available now! It received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and is featured on their “2021 Summer Reads” list! You can also check out these great reviews from AIPT Comics and The AV Club.
I co-host Jordan, Jesse, Go!, a totally nonsensical chat show with Jesse Thorn (NPR) and a cavalcade of celebrity guests.”
