Along with Janet Varney, he has written and performed downloadable comedic commentary to the films Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Footloose, Poltergeist, The Lost Boys, Flatliners, Dreamscape and Jaws 3D for RiffTrax.com, an online venture helmed by Mystery Science Theater 3000’s Michael J. Nelson. Also with Varney, he co-created and co-hosts the Audible original comedy series The Bat: Improv in the Dark, featuring a who’s-who of guest improvisers winging a set sans lights in front of a live audience. He's appeared on American Horror Story, 9-1-1, Good Girls, Nash Bridges and America's Most Wanted, and in the films Diani & Devine Meet the Apocalypse, The Selling, Dead Man on Campus, Around the Fire and Callback.
