Everything's Coming Up Simpsons Podcast

I have said before that I make a great podcast guest and this was a podcast I was happy to be a part of. Everything's Coming Up Simpsons is a fun podcast hosted by two incredible women, Allie Goertz and Julia Prescott and it was a ton of fun talking about an old episode of the Simpsons with them. Click here or on the photo below for the episode. 

Welcome to the show this week Diana Wright! If you have ever played "The Simpsons: Tapped Out" mobile game then you might have seen her work! She'll give us the scoop on how she became a writer for the game, and a behind the scenes look at some of the episodes she has written for the app. We've got a classic Sideshow Bob episode to discuss, too. Allie and Julia will break down one of Diana's favs – "Black Widower." We'll learn the value of watching The Simpsons together as a family. Plus, Diana discusses her love of "The Simpsons Sing The Blues" – an album she says no one should listen to more than once. And, oh boy – did she listen to it a ton as a kid. Don't miss this episode!

Farewell LA Indie Improv Festival!

We had our 7th and last Los Angeles Indie Improv Festival: two days, three stages, one party bus, 200+ improv teams, zero dollar admission. 

If you want to know why I've helped put this festival together for seven years, Jen said it best here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmsp2XfA8Wf/?taken-by=officiallaiif

The LAST EVER LA Indie Improv Festival!!

The 7th and LAST LAIIF is here! I have been a producer for all 7 years, handling all the money stuff for the festival. And we're finally closing it down. It's definitely bittersweet to be ending my professional improv producing career but I'm excited to move on to new things. 

In the meantime, I'm PERFORMING in three shows - Clean Coal, Crashbar, and the Committee! All on Sunday. Info below!

I'm a Great Podcast Guest

Did you know that I used to have a successful podcast called Cocktails for Two. My friend Lindsay Katai (who now has two way more successful podcasts) and I would get drunk with a guest and discuss our lives. iTunes once recommended it on their official platform - it was very exciting. 

Recently I've guested on a few of podcasts (with a few coming up!) and wanted to put up a link to them here:

I guested on Lindsay Katai's incredible podcast Teen Creeps and read Christopher Pike's The Immortal about sexy teenagers, Greece vacations, and eating glass. 

I guested on Dave Ciaccio and Jesse Klein's podcast all about science where we discussed Uranus smelling like farts, Scott Kelly's different genes, and super ice.
