New Nice Brothers animation! We made this for Channel 101 NY, parodying our friends’ hilarious show, 9AM Meeting.

new character

I’m happy to even be in 2 seconds of Josh’s hilarious new character’s video. Maybe it’s loosely based on Josh Ruben Talking to People Through a Limo Window?

I need to go outside.

Happy Halloween! Here’s my set as Dana Carvey from this year’s Schtick or Treat. If you’ve never seen the original clip from his 1995 HBO Special “Critic’s Choice”, do yourself a huge favor and WATCH IT!

Here we are trying to convince ladies of the Lingerie Football League to join the NFL: The Naked Football League.

Me and Trevor were so tightly scripted and well-rehearsed for this, and I’m honestly not entirely sure this LFL girl even knew we were in character.

Hey look, I’m in a thing!

Here’s my full set from last night’s Rejection Show. These are pun-based ideas rejected from CollegeHumor and Busted Tees. Eva said watching this video was just like hanging out with me for eight minutes.

Boogity boogity boogity boogity shoobie doo wop doo wop! This was a fun day.

TONIGHT, UCB Theatre, 9:30: The Rejection Show is a comedic based event that embraces the rejected and “turned down” material of professional and amateur writers, comedians, cartoonists, artists, and human beings whom display their creative “failures” live on stage.
I’ll be sharing lots of my rejected CollegeHumor material tonight with Wyatt Cenac (The Daily Show), God’s Pottery (Last Comic Standing), and Megan Neuringer (HBO, Comedy Central). You can make reservations here.

Best Name Game

The best game to play with people’s names is to make their first name possessive, so their second name sounds like it’s what they call their dick.

For example, Adam’s Newman. I call my dick “Newman”.

You try.
