Comedy journalist living in New York City. For nearly a decade, I’ve been fascinated by stand-up comedy and the comedians who perform it. I’ve worked in comedy clubs, hosted a stand-up comedy-themed radio show, helped write a book about stand-up, written articles, and interviewed some really lovely comedians. I even wrote a chunky MA thesis about Mark Twain’s Lecture Tours and the origins of American stand-up comedy.
Are you a comedian, a writer, or a comedy nerd? Maybe you just really like laughing?
Whatever the case — welcome. Stay a while. Say hi.
"The motives and functions of stand-up comedy are complex, ambiguous, and to some extent paradoxical." Lawrence Mintz
