Lots of new people on here so I thought I’d say hi! I’m an NYC based comedic performer, writer & DJ. I teach comedy at Second City and have written for Sesame Workshop and Archie. I’ve been producing, directing and performing with Story Pirates since 2007. I’m thrillingly gay.
Age verification? I had film strips in grade school.
Age verification? I once asked Rona Barrett a question on a Prodigy message board.
Age verification? I used to have two drawers full of Buffy and Angel episodes I’d taped on VHS

In the 90s I would always ask for the “Rachel Maddow” when I got my hair done 💅

When I do promotional events for my book, John Candy: A Life In Comedy, people often ask me to identify, out of the hundreds of interviews I did for the book, who were the most significant. Without hesitation, I tell them, Catherine O’Hara.

I couldn’t fit my Catherine O’Hara sentiments on a single Bluesky post so here’s a screen grab of what I want to say for now.

I want a full oral history of early Second City now. The same goes for SCTV. We've already lost too many important voices who were the titans of (North)American comedy. Catherine O'Hara's death today is proof of that fact. @pulmyears.bsky.social's John Candy bio was good for that, but not enough.

A classic example of FAFO. There was absolutely no reason to break this into two movies and to make the second one so tedious. A crass, profit driven move and this time the Academy didn’t fall for it.
