I live in New York. I am a stand up comic, writer and actor. You may have seen my writing on many reputable websites (The Huffington Post, Hello Giggles, xojane.com, The Hairpin, Splitsider, The FW, etc.). I also write crazy blogs about Game of Thrones, Magneto and Jeff Goldblum. I was formerly member of the PITtv House Team, Codswallop.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I wrote about the new Costume Institute exhibit at the Met for Huffington Post.
I’m really proud of this piece because I think it’s fun and clever, but I fear no one will understand it. However, what I learned from the exhibit was that if you think something is fun and clever, but fear no one will understand it, put it on someone’s head and send it down a Paris runway and then after you’re dead it will be on display at the Met.

It’s a great performance. Seriously.
“I’ve read everything about her I could find, studied her scientific papers, and even walked the streets in Paris from where she taught at the Sorbonne to the apartment where she had an affair with her lover — hoping to discover just how breathless she might be when she got there. One day, I was shown through her lab at the Curie Institute, where a page from her notebook (written on the day she discovered radium) is hanging on the wall, behind glass. The young man showing me around the lab swung back the glass and held a Geiger counter up to the page — and it clicked like a tap dancer.
That click was, for me, the rhythmic pulse of Marie’s courage.”
