SKETCH COMEDY
I am currently creating sketch videos with my friend Andrew Melzer. We go by the name Rich Parents.Past efforts found below.
Immersive theater, sketch comedy, and live streams, all while posing as an events company.
We were described as "fearless," "inspired, and absurd" by TimeOut Chicago and "all brains," by the Chicago Reader which is probably why the group desolved so it's members could apply to graduate school.
