In this prestigious multi-media lecture series, he examines panto-masturbation techniques from Mesopotamia to the present day.

(Boiled Horse Productions) is part of the Tampa Fringe community down in Florida. After a long hiatus, his comedy partner dragged him back to the stage for "Vulva Va-Voom: Hollywood Psychic of the Golden Age," in which he provides the voice of a puppet haunted by Jimmy Stewart. (TIFF's "The Edge" Award, '22; juried selection, Orlando Fringe Winter Mini-Fest, '23.) Following a successful month-long run in Tampa, "Stroke" will be going to Orlando WMF '24 and...perhaps a university near you? In his home life, he continually strives to become a better father to his cats and step-cats (equally).
