Portfolio: Interview with Comedian Chris Hamilton
Chris Hamilton is one of those comics who doesn’t just do stand-up — he lives it. At the time of this interview, I was a young comic writing for Best Comedy Tickets and trying to shine a light on performers I respected. Chris gave me my first show in New York while I was still in college. I had no "material" and I had been on stage four times. Thanks Chris.

Portfolio: Comedy Central Greenlights Sudeikis-Backed Comedy 'Detroiters'
Editor's Note: This piece was originally written for BestComedyTickets, where the goal was to generate traction through the comedy sphere and drive attention to their site. At the time, I was a young comic trying to find my voice in the scene. Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson were already making waves in sketch comedy, and I genuinely admired their work.

Portolfio: Interview with Warm-up comic Kevin Bartini
I conducted this interview with Kevin Bartini over the phone and loved getting a behind-the-scenes look at the world of television. I genuinely had no idea that warm-up comics were even a thing, and I came away having learned a lot. I didn’t grow up around showbiz, so with every interview I did back then, I walked away with a whole new understanding of the industry.

Portfolio: T.J. Miller is The Comedic Voice of Modern Advertising (2015)
It’s interesting to look back and see how online ad campaigns—especially pre-TikTok—were already shaping what comedy would become. These weren’t just commercials; they were backdoor pilots, short films, sketches with a brand attached. The line between content and advertising was blurring, and comedians like T.J. Miller were right at the center of it.

Thanks to the democratization of digital media, comedians and creators no longer need a greenlight from Hollywood to make something funny. Just ask the teams behind Workaholics, The Lonely Island, Broad City, or Drunk History.

Playing Call Of Duty During the Pandemic Days
During the pandemic, I found myself gaming again. Like a lot of people, it started with trying to reconnectwith friends, with fun, with some version of normal. I was coaching wrestling at Denver West with Rocco DePaolo, Justin Gaethje, and Josh Imeraj, and we'd hop into Call of Duty: Warzone lobbies with some of the kids we coached. Spoiler: we’d get smoked.

Real Stories of The Bible: What I Learned by Failing as a Director
Writing has always been my first creative love. Improv is a very close second, but writing is the one I come home to. I can do it anywhere and at anytime. When Heath asked if I’d write this thing, I said yes immediately. It felt good to be trusted with someone else's idea and to see it brought to life. We met at a bar after I completed the scripts and then Heath was happy and he put it into production with his crew.

Sometimes your taste outpaces your talent — and that’s okay.I co-wrote, produced, and acted in a sketch called Our Pet Nicolas Cage. It had a fun premise and a talented cast. It also had bees, too many layers, and a clear lesson in learning when less is more. Here's what I took from that project — and why I'm still proud of it, warts and all.
