The Awkward Comedy Show Shoots September 23rd

I am producing a feature with Victor Varnado called The Awkward Comedy Show. The film showcases four African-American comics who don't fit into the typical mold of what is marketed as "black" comedy. We'll be taping these four nerdy comics as they perform in front of a live audience on September 23rd. There are two shows, one at 6:00 and one at 8:30. You can make reservations via the movie's website.

I am exceptionally proud of this project and the message of empowerment it makes for smart, funny comedians everywhere who don't fit into an easily marketed category.

The film also includes interviews and animation by NYC cartoonists. We hope to have a festival run and sell the finished project to television and on DVD. Watch this space for updates.
