The Comedy Kitchen

I am a professional comedy writer, which means I’m basically a sausage grinder. I take current events, history, politics, stick them all in my mouth, turn the handle, and they get mangled into jokes.

This column is all the work I do to try to understand things before jokes come out. So, it’s not my comedy, as such. But it is the comedy kitchen. I hope you like it.

Stay up-to-date

Probably a lot of minutes in your life go by when you’re thinking, “I wonder what middle-aged comedy writers are mulling over right now.” Wonder no more, friend.
