Naughty MacBook Pro Unboxing

The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater recently put together Beta teams to make videos for their UCBcomedy website.  I tell you this because I am on one of the teams.  Our name is The Brig (we’re on Twitter @TheBrigComedy), and we just uploaded our first video.

You should watch it (warning NSFW).

I wrote it.  Matt Mayer (voice in my iPhone parody and actor in College Regrets and cinematographer of 2010 Novelty Glasses) directed, Mackenzie Condon produced, Nate Russell shot and edited it and Mike Costabile did the music.

Working in a group is a lot of fun. Having 7 other comedy people look at your writing and give feedback really helps to improve scripts.  Some of my favorite lines are punch-ups that Jon Gutierrez added.

It also really helps having great performers like Thomas Middleditch and Andrée Vermeulen be in the video and add some improvised lines.

Citizen Kane Fanboys

Here’s a sketch I wrote that was performed at the UCB theater a few weeks ago. There weren’t many rehearsals, but I think it came out okay all things considered.

Also, due to the camera placement’s, it’s hard to make out what the last person is wearing (which is kind of important) so if you’re interested, you can see it here.
