In May of 2009, I found a bunch of old cassette tapes onto
which my friends and I had babbled all kinds of nonsense. That fall, I staged
these tapes at Serial Killers, Sacred Fools' late-night
serialized short-play competition,
and it ran for six weeks. As the third-longest-running serial of the
season,
The Cassette Chronicles competed in the Serial Killers
Playoffs, going three out of five possible rounds!
More Info
In a similar vein, I also created and co-directed
I Wrote This!, a show in which we staged stories various
Fools had written as children, which BackStage West called "an
ingenious idea... as funny as it is fascinating!"

BEAVERQUEST!
In this original musical by Padraic Duffy (music composed by Bobby Stapf), I played
the often-incoherent last living Beaver, who enters into a forbidden love
affair with a Bunny. Originally serialized in Serial Killers over
20 weeks, a rewritten full-length version was premiered on the Sacred
Fools mainstage in the spring of 2008 to critical acclaim.
"...audaciously original...
suggests what might result if the Dixie
Chicks channeled William S. Burroughs
while Ren and Stimpy stole Willie Nelson's stash." –L.A. TIMES
For several years, I was a member of this sketch comedy troupe. We
performed at The Comedy Store and other venues around town, and also
traveled to Austin and Seattle when selected to perform at the Big Stinkin'
Comedy Festival in 1998 and the Seattle Sketchfest in 2001. The
group broke up in 2002, but you can (if the Wayback machine is
functioning today) see a partial archive of our website
here, in all its
late-90's glory.
BUTT-PIRATES OF THE
CARIBBEAN An L.A. Weekly Pick of the Week late-night comedy show which ran
from 1996-98, created by the folks who went on to found the
critically-acclaimed
Troubador Theatre Company.
