Hey everyone,

I’ve got a show TONIGHT at The Bowery Electric at 9pm! It’s cool performing at that venue cuz I feel like a pop star (even though I’m just doing weird improv). After raising $475 for The Brigid Alliance at our December show, I’m excited we get to do another show with this great group. Tickets are $30 (including fees) and the profits go towards supporting a wonderful organization that connects women to healthcare. You can buy tickets here!

Also, I got another show on Saturday February 25 at The PIT Loft at 7pm. Loser Boy is competing in the PIT’s March Madness Improv Qualifier and if we win, we move onto round 2. Wahoo - competitive improv!! Tickets are just $10 and you can get them here!

One last thing! No Worries If Not, my GOLD Comedy Digital Sketch team, had a sketch selected for the Lysistrada Comedy Festival in Austin, Texas. The festival is for women in comedy and run March 30th through April 2nd so if you are down in Austin, come on out!

Also NWIN released this mash-up of Nicole Kidman’s iconic AMC ad and the Super Bowl last week. I edited and acted in it - so please enjoy :)

Have a great month bbs - byeeeee!

Hey gang,

Another year almost over! I’m a big fan of year-end inventories cuz I’m a dork. I’ve got a lot to inventory this year! I am so lucky to have amazing collaborators, great friends and supportive people in my life - I would be remiss if I didn’t take stock of them and show my enormous gratitude. So thank you all, and I hope you have a safe, happy and healthy holiday season.

In the meantime, I wanted to leave you with a brand new video sketch from No Worries If Not at GOLD Comedy. I wrote, shot, helped edit, and I’m pretty proud of it. Also, after losing several locations, QED Astoria generously let us shoot in their space, and we are eternally grateful. They saved the day! So did my friend Chris Gerson, who let us borrow some equipment and my talented actor friends Dana Patrice and Tommy Walters. Of course, I’m grateful to the whole NWIN team for making it :)

See ya in 2023 - big hugs,

D

Hi gang,

Three shows on the horizon.

Improv with Loser Boy as guests for Happy [THANKSGIVING]! with Shrecc & Friends on Monday 11/21 at 9pm @ Under St Marks. Tickets here and also streaming options.

And more improv here with I'll Have the Bisque: A Variety Show on Wed 12/7 at 7pm @ The Bowery Electric. Tickets are here and go to support The Brigid Alliance for women’s healthcare.

So that’s pretty cool. Also, I’ve been writing some comedy articles for GOLD Comedy recently. I don’t think I’ve shared them, so check them out here.

Yeah, the holidays are upon us, as is the end of 2022. So remember to pause, give thanks, and take care of yourself. Time marches ever onward, bb.
