SUPEREGO: FORGOTTEN CLASSICS is a bold interpretation of the great works of literature. So bold in fact, nobody at Superego even bothered to read them. In this live and live-streamed show our players will improvise a famous work of fiction, one with which they’re not at all familiar. They’ll be given only the book’s title, its first and last lines, and the names of its characters. The rest is up to them.
This time out, Superego reimagines James Joyce’sUlysses!
At the St. Patrick’s Day Varietopia this year we did a medley of Sinéad songs. Rehearsing the medley got me to listen to her albums again for the first time in years & to watch the recent doc about her.
What an incredible artist and person. A real one among real ones.
Rest in Power to someone who personified courage.
The AMPTP doesn’t make a dime off of this show and we probably won’t either!
Please come see me and my friend Nicole Parker do our first variety show together!
Sunday September 10th at Lodge Room in Highland Park

One of my all-time favorite podcasts, Off Book, wrapped up their weekly run with episode 300. I was honored to be their first and last guest! Jess McKenna & Zach Reino are brilliant, kind and hilarious people and I learned a lot from trying to keep up with them (honestly I should have learned more but that is on me). With Scott Passarella, Brett Morris and Dana Wickens, they made something so funny and full of joy that managed to be wildly entertaining while being neither saccharine nor cynical. Although I will miss having them to listen to every week, I am excited for whatever they are up to next. I will also miss the ads featuring children who have suffered horrific injuries. Thank you for the laughs and for trusting me so many times (that one is on YOU).
