I have been the pianist for the Bit Players (Rhode Island’s most award winning comedy group) since 2010, joining when I was 15 years old. Since then, I’ve has broadened my comedic endeavors, improvising in many short form and long form groups at UCB New York, The National College Comedy Festival, P.I.F , Ocean State Improv Fest and every weekend at the Firehouse Theater. I have written and directed live sketch shows at theaters in New York and Rhode Island. Currently, I am the Artistic and Musical Director of the Firehouse Theater and the Bit Players in Newport, Rhode Island.

Whether it’s standup, storytelling, improv or sketch, I always love to bring a certain dryness and absurdity to the platform. As a director and teacher, I most enjoy helping performers and students to feel their most comfortable and silly. I have led private workshops and team buildings for performers and corporate teams from Peoples Credit Union to Bio Tech companies.
