We won the Encore Producers Award

Two additional shows this Thursday at 9:30 and Friday at 10pm! View this email in your browser "The writing in the show is sharp, satirical, and often incisive, providing both laughs and food for thought." -Mayank Keshaviah, Stage Raw BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW! Dear Family: Joshua Silverstein and I won the Encore Producers Award for the second year in the row! That means that we have TWO MORE SHOWS this week: Thursday, 6/29 at 9:30pm Friday, 6/30 at 10pm Take a look at our reviews page. The response has been ridiculous. Here's just a sample: "In case you didn't realize it, this year at Fringe, you have the opportunity to watch a polished but still spontaneous live HBO comedy special disguised as a late-night 2 man show." "These two performers are the real deal. Not sure if you're the type to close your eyes in a fringe show but with this one you won't. They are surprising, hilarious, and SMART and I am definitely a fan of these fellas." Buy your tickets NOW! We will sell out. Not cuz we're popular or anything, it's just a really small theater space. :-) Love, Joe p.s. Here's a little sample for those unable to attend the show. We performed last week at Da Poetry Lounge!

An avant-garde musical about sex or a comedy show??

Some fun shows happening NOW! View this email in your browser Dear Family: Are you into avant-garde musicals about sexual intimacy or comedy shows about men struggling with emotional intimacy? OR BOTH?? I'm currently working on a musical called "Hello Again" by Michael John LaChiusa with an amazingly talented cast over at Chromolume Theatre in Culver City. It's definitely been a fun and challenging role. I get to play a bisexual writer in both the 1970s and 1920s. We close this weekend. Get at me for discount tickets! And next week, on June 2nd, Joe & Joshua return with a brand new show! Only five performances! Come watch Joshua Silverstein and me wrestle with love and relationships.

I performed for Justice Sonia Sotomayor...NBD.

Some fun shows happening SOON! View this email in your browser Dear Family: First of all, I'm totally channeling my mother in this picture. My facial expression, the way I'm holding her hands. Totally my mom. That said... This woman, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, is one of the coolest people ever! She's so friendly and present and down to earth! And a Princeton Latina! Que viva! I got to perform for her at the Princeton Latino Alumni Conference held last month. In the photo, I'm sharing with her greetings from Professor Nancy Malkiel, a mentor of hers, who was also my thesis advisor. I found out that Sonia struggled early on at Princeton (as I did) and she went to Professor Malkiel for assistance (as I did). A pretty cool connection. :-) On stage, I told the Justice that I had seen her graduation photo on a wall of famous Princeton graduates earlier that day and I had to tell her...she is easily the sexiest Princeton graduate ever! She got such a kick out of the comment, smiling and laughing! I also had fun with Ted Cruz's twitter account. Cruz is a Latino Princeton graduate who was supposed to attend the conference but canceled at the last minute. So I tweeted him a photo of all of us from stage. HA! (I can't believe I tweeted Ted Cruz.) But that was LAST month! Here's what's happening RIGHT NOW... For the month of May, I am singing in a musical! Hello Again by Michael John LaChiusa is based on the 1897 play La Ronde by Arthur Schnitzler (also titled Reigen). It focuses on a series of love affairs among ten characters during the ten different decades of the 20th century. The musical premiered Off-Broadway in 1993, directed and choreographed by Graciela Daniele. You can snag 50% off tickets only until Sunday! Code "hello50." Click on the pic to purchase tickets! For the month of June, my comedy partner Joshua Silverstein and I will be premiering a NEW SHOW at the Hollywood Fringe Fest! Tickets go on sale May 1st! We really like the material that we've been writing and we can't wait to do an intimate late-night show for YOU! Click on the pic for dates and more info! And here's my new college show demo reel! I'm always looking to perform at new schools! Thanks for reading. Love, Joe And if ya wanna follow me more...

LIVE in LA!

Come watch me and Joshua at the Hollywood Fringe Festival! View this email in your browser Dear fam: I hope that your summer is starting off well. I have a lot of shows happening in Los Angeles (and one in San Diego) this summer. I'd love for you to join me. The main show that I'm performing this summer is with my writing partner Joshua Silverstein as part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. The show is titled "Come Fux With Us" because, c'mon, Joshua and I may make each other laugh in my living room but we know that the true magic doesn't happen 'til we're in front of YOU.

We're in the Hollywood Fringe!

It won't be the same if you're not there. ❤️

This is how it always begins.

Ben's apartment, cups of coffee and a first draft. I read it, he gives me notes, I go home, rewrite, repeat. The new solo show premieres at the Chicago Fringe in September. #ChicagoFringeFestival
