Make it a thing

It's more fun than just going through the motions

Hi! I love that you are dedicating your valuable time to reading The Museletter. Thank you for that. If you feel like this blog benefits you, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. Your $7, whether it be for one month, six months or for all of eternity, is the gasoline I need to keep this dumpster fire going. In exchange, I promise to keep the inspiration, comedy magic, passion for performing, weirdness, advice, and lights on in this comedy church.

Etc.

After doing stand up for a while, I started to notice that it was becoming repetitious. As a die hard lover and obsessed comedy fan and comedian, it’s never boring. But, like marriage, sometimes you might have to toss in some new tricks to keep it feeling fresh and exciting.

Here are some things I’ve tried that I’ve had some success with, in terms of having fun, making (a little) money, getting press, and making waves in the comedy world:

• I staged a photo of all the female comedians in New York City

  • Women In Comedy was covered by The New York Times

    

    I’m front and center in red surrounded by 200 funny women

• I created a comedy music festival

  • NY Funny Songs Fest was featured in The New York Times, Time Out NY, The Wall Street Journal and more

    

    Me with Carolyn Castiglia + Jen Kwok promoting the fest in Time Out NY

• I built a small comedy theater in downtown Manhattan

  • The Unicorn NYC was covered by Time Out NY and more, and its first show was The Crash Test Dummies

    

    Time Out New York’s little blurb about The Unicorn NYC

• I toured a solo show

  • Dirty Folk Rock ran at Edinburgh Fringe Fest, SoHo Theater, and got me booked all over the U.S. and U.K.

    

    Here I am next to one of the posters advertising my Soho Theatre show

• I wrote a book

  • Dumb Jokes For Smart Folks sold over 1000 copies in its first year

    

    One of my COVID projects

• I filmed a pilot

  • Guitar Champion was never picked up, but it is a beautiful time capsule of comedy in the early 2000s, featuring Seth Herzog, Giulia Rozzi, Andy Blitz and more

• I wrote an award-winning comedy script with some friends

  • Jingle Belles placed in several writing contests

    

    Two of the festivals we placed in

• I even turned my own wedding into a spectacle

  • I rode a unicorn into my wedding, which was covered by The New York Times Vows

    

    There’s no bad press?

That’s a small collection of comedy related projects I’ve made up out of the thin air in order to keep comedy fun for me.

Now I’m onto my next one… more soon!

What are some of your claims to fame? What’s on the horizon?
