One! More! TIIIIIIME!!!

I’m doing one performance of my show, Eliza Skinner is: Shameless! in New York again this Wednesday. Ring in the new year with some heartfelt black comedy!
Later this month I’m taking the show to South Carolina for the Charleston Comedy Festival. Come see whichever show is closer! (Maryland, you can pick either one.)

Tonight I’ll be debuting my new musical project The New York Cycle at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. TNYC is me, Jody Shelton (Jody Shelton Band) and Peter Gwinn (The Colbert Report) – each month we’re writing a brand new 30 minute musical inspired by a different part of New York City. So far we [...]

Hey, you crazy internet fools!
I am doing some stand up tonight, and you should come. Why? Because the door is free and the drinks are cheap, the host is cute and the acts are funny (and vice versa), and it’s at Lucky Chengs, so there will probably be some trannies there. And isn’t that why you’re [...]

I wrote a sidebar in this month’s issue of Glamour magazine. On page 226 check out my attempts to flirt like a lady, without mentioning farting or Alan Moore.

When I was 15 I memorized the Fear mantra from Dune* – I had plenty of time to do it, since I wasn’t busy dating or showering regularly or anything. I was thinking about it again recently and decided that in an effort to allow my fears to “pass over and through me”, I need [...]
