For some, the “American Dream” seems unattainable, obstructed by a confluence of obstacles, often the result of hypocrisies woven into the fabric of the country.

Further evidence of Captain Hook’s complexity may be found in the affirmation of his own fears. Widely known to cringe at the sight of his own blood, this leader is also understandably afraid of a certain crocodile who ate one of his hands, cut off in a fierce battle (the iron hook that replaced it gave the captain his name, revealing a poetic flair in the face of tragedy).

Press Writing & Coverage

Great tasting whiskey and Stand-up comedy: pay it forward
In my early 20s, I didn’t really drink, but I’d nurse a rum and coke (that’d never happen now, with my cultured palate and middle-aged body) as I sat at the bar with Colin Quinn, Denis Leary, Dave Attell and Louis CK (whatever happened to those guys, am I the only one who made it??).

FunnyMen vs. FunnyWomen? The answer is Transparent
Eddie and I need to go full trans, and fast. Soon, as with Cuba and the Americans, the comedy landscape will be overrun with transcomics and we will have missed the boat to the promised land.
“The Tiny Sirko Show”
Part sitcom, part talk show, “The Tiny Sirko Show” could be described as a testament to self-expression through psychosis. Everyone is nuts. It’s the mad leading the insane.
A Funny Short Film for Father’s Day
Part of me wishes I could say this film sprung from my twisted mind. The other part is relieved it did not. My twisted buddy Andrew Laurich directed this film, from a script he co-wrote with the twisted Gabriel Miller.
