Still coming down from the John Oliver shoutout and wanted to share more of the doc with you guys.

This project grew me as a comedian, producer, and person. I befriended AI companions for 2 months. I drove to SF and interviewed a CEO and a journalist who will be played by Jeremy Allen White in the next Sorkin movie. I learned the meaning of friendship, and I deepened my hatred for Mark Zuckerberg. If that sounds harsh don’t worry, hatred does really well for engagement on his platforms.

Full video in my bio. Huge thank you to the team at for helping me bring this pitch to life:

Enterprise Writer -
Video Editor - Anthony Mascorro

shoutout BART, shoutout CalTrain ❤️

Got invited up to SF to tell a story on the theme of love. I was like can I still make it funny and they were like yeah.

Crowd energy was UNREAL, two sold out nights in a row, I honestly walked away being like damn the Bay is pretty cool and also love is pretty cool.

Huge thanks to .show for having me, powerhouse directors & , and executive producer Rosario Dawson!

Shoutout all my fellow performers, you guys rocked it and I hope we meet again soon 🫡

And most of all thank you to my wonderful gf Daisy for coming up to the Bay with me. I couldn’t have done this without your support, I love you a lot, and I love that 400 people in SF know that now.

Clips coming soon :)
