Music That Doesn't Suck Monthly

I had a blast writing and performing in this sketch for the new show at Le Poisson Rouge, Music That Doesn't Suck Monthly. Be sure to check them out! Good music, good peeps, good times.

Live Podcast Recording for #LastThingsFirst

I had such a blast being interviewed on Sean L. McCarthy's podcast #LastThingsFirst recorded live at QED Astoria. We talked Broadway, storytelling, teaching, and all things in between. And there's a slide whistle! Musical intro by Camille Harris and Shockwave! 

Per The Comic's Comic: Leslie Goshko joins me in a special episode recorded live at QED in Astoria. She's featured on a new episode of truTV's Impractical Jokers, but there’s nothing impractical about going from teaching music and theater in Tulsa to the Broadway stage, at least the way she tells it. Goshko won a national dance contest held in 2006 by the producers of Hairspray to appear in the Broadway production. She’s a gifted storyteller who has won the Manhattan Monologue Slam, provides music for NY1 anchors Pat Kiernan and Jamie Stelter’s live shows at 92Y, sings regularly at Joe’s Pub and has hosted her storytelling showcase, Sideshow Goshko, for the past seven years. She tells me all about her journey, what storytelling means to her, and performs a song live for us.

Say Hello to My Little Friend!

Get ready, New York! John Travolta is about to take Manhattan!

Leading up to the big Staying Alive Tribute Party at Joe's Pub on Thursday, September 17th, 9:30pm, John Travolta will be exploring the city and sharing his thoughts. And let me tell you, those thoughts are deep. Just today, he bought a salad in Queens!

"It's important to eat healthy to maintain that lean dancer's physique. My diet consists of salads and slaying the dragons of self-doubt. Also...up your nose with a rubber hose!"  ‪#‎StayingAliveTributeParty‬ ‪#‎JoesPub‬ ‪#‎Sept17th‬‪#‎ExploiTravolta‬ ‪#‎TravoltaTakesManhattan‬
