Hello all,

I really hate writing these blogs sometimes. Probably because we’re in a weird holding pattern until enough people are vaccinated and lots of bad things happen all the time, so for me to take time and brag about my silly internet “skits” is…off-putting to me.

I’ll keep it short and say enjoy the silly stuff because life is very short and if we didn’t take ourselves so seriously, that would be great. Be kind, be generous (not just to your friends, but to strangers and yourself) and “be sturdy and full of hope”.

Now, enjoy this sketch about dildos, Netflix and Marie Kondo entitled “The Life Changing Magic of Catching That D”

New Year, new…whatever. Hello all!

I’m an Aquarian, with a February birthday. This year, I’ve decided I’m simply doing last year over, so I did not get older for this birthday!

I also love a birthday party but couldn’t do that this year, so I did a sketch with Chill Grill Comedy. It’s called Deirdre’s Birthday Roast. Helena Farhi and Steven Czajkowski star in it and it also features the voice over talent of John Racioppo.

I don’t have any other updates - Wear a mask ok? And be sturdy and full of hope.

Hey people,

This absolute dumpster fire of a year is almost over! Will things magically get better in 2021? Well not magically, it’s going to take a lot of work, but let’s manifest a “yes”.

I’ll finish this year off with announcements: Helena Farhi and I (@chillgrillcomedy) pulled together a non-comedy video reading of “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” with our friends, Steven Czajkowski, Grace Experience and Stephen Shore for Heartwood Regional Theater Company. Heartwood is a beautiful theatre company in Damariscotta, Maine and it’s been an artistic home of mine for years. The five of us met doing plays there and remain friends in NYC. We didn’t get to visit or work up in Maine this year, so when artistic director, Griff Braley asked us to put together something for the Heartwood Christmas Letter, we jumped at the chance. It’s free and features a ton of talented performers, but our section is only available from December 11-14th. Check it out here for some holiday cheer!

Loser Boy (my improv team) does a weekly show at The Tank and we are in a telethon to raise money for their year-end goals! Tough year to be an arts organization, and the Tank has proven to be resilient, innovative and supportive of artists in this most challenging year. We want them to open their doors when live theatre is a thing again, so I hope you’ll consider helping. Email me with details for the telethon performance and remember to check out our shows on Monday nights at 7pm EST.

And finally, in ONE WEEK IT’S THE FINAL EPISODE OF SPECIAL REPORT. Sorry to yell, it’s just exciting. Eight episodes total - written and acted and edited in the middle of a pandemic with a skeleton crew. It’s been wonderful working with Mischief Tales (like and subscribe on Youtube, Insta and Facebook) and I’m really proud of what we accomplished. Watch the first 7 episodes, and get caught up before next Thursday 12/17 when the finale drops. Will there be a season 2? Sort depends on y’all, so tell your friends <3

I’m putting episode 4 here because I missed last month and I realize the last thing I posted on the blog was #3 (eek - gimme a break, it’s been a YEAR)

Be well. Be kind. Be sturdy and full of hope.

Hello all,

Have you voted yet? Do you have a voting plan? Cuz you need to, ok? My head is going to explode :)

It’s physically impossible for me to talk about politics without having a panic attack right now - it’s all too visceral and immediate - so instead, I’ll talk about my dumb videos.

As you are probably aware if you read this newsletter, Chill Grill Comedy produced a web series for Mischief Tales (like and subscribe on Youtube, Insta and Facebook) called Special Report and you can watch episode 1-4 here! And bloops! There are 8 episodes total so we are half-way through bebeeeeeeeee!

Special Report is a sketch comedy show and a labor of love in the time of cholera (err, corona?). It was both very hard and very fun to shoot. So check it out - we release every other Thursday and episode 5 is out November 5th. And tell your friends please, because I haven’t been getting enough compliments about this show and I die without attention. I’m Tinkerbell.

Speaking of needing attention - my improv team, Loser Boy is still doing a weekly online show on Mondays at 7pm EST at The Tank. The Tank is an amazing arts organization in NYC that supports new and emerging artists. They are such a wonderful example of art thriving in adversity - we are donating all our ticket sales, so come see our show and throw The Tank some support in the form of dollar bills.

I’m working on some new projects so keep an eye out.

Speaking of my head exploding and panic attacks, something I’ve been doing to keep sane is working verrrry locally. Not just NYC, but my neighborhood, Astoria, Queens. Organizations like Astoria Mutual Aid Network are do amazing work in the community. If you are feeling overwhelmed, might I suggest working hyper locally? See if there are mutual aids in your neighborhood here - We keep each other safe.

Until next month -
