Exciting Announcement!
I'll be moderating a panel on comedy THIS SATURDAY in Los Angeles.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Quickly popping in to let you know I’ll be leading a discussion on The Evolution of Digital Comedy™ THIS SATURDAY as part of the Cramer Comedy Newsletter’s inaugural State of Comedy event at Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles.
The afternoon / evening’s agenda effectively functions as catnip for any engaged subscriber to my mailing list, but I’ll let the event describe itself, c/o its sensibly-priced ticketing page:
Designed for fans, industry insiders, and aspiring comedians alike, State of Comedy 2025 will offer rapid fire insights into key aspects of the funny business.
Dive into the worlds of stand-up, digital content, TV, and film with candid discussion from industry veterans and bright new voices.
The early evening (or late afternoon, whichever sounds easier to you) will feature engaging panel discussions, live performances, and thought-provoking conversations on the state of comedy, both present and future.
The conversation I’ll be facilitating will feature Brett Kushner (COO, Don’t Tell Comedy), comedian Morgan Jay (Wild ‘N Out), and Earnest Pettie (Social Trends Analyst)
