WHAT I DO
I write three sketches a week, and produce / film / edit Two per month on my YouTube channel. NIGGARDLY (Grammarly for codeswitching) hit the front page of YouTube Comedy last year, and I was later fired for ‘misusing the office’.
Here’s my 2022 reel of Impressions and original Characters, as submitted to SNL and the CBS Diversity showcase. RuPaul was a hard one for me to nail down.
These are the roles I’m typically cast in but you better move quick before I become a real dad. I’ve shot a few movies ’21 – ’22 so new clips are coming soon.
Two 12-min Kids animation pilots, three original 30-min Adult comedies, and spec scripts for Pen15 and Atlanta available.
WHO WE ARE
I’m a good collaborator, great on-camera, and I used to work in corporate so I know how to work towards a deadline.
