We did it. After an amazing three months in a writing room with Avrum Jacobson, and another two months working with mentors to create original series ideas, we are DONE.

So much love to my fellow residents, and all the people who work behind the scenes to make the CFC Primetime TV Program such a success. Now, we leave the womb, cut the cord and get shot out into the world of writing television.

So excited to watch the premier episode of Chef in Your Ear on the Food Network Canada!

I worked with the story team, as well as contributing writer with head scribe Ashley Comeau. Fellow Second City ship alumni and good pal Greg Komorowski is the awesome host who gets to taste it all.

As well, the Rock Paper Scissors production of A Twisted Christmas Carol was nominated for ‘Best Comedic Play/Revue/Series. (Produced in 2015 by The Arts Club Theatre.)

So excited, we ripped a tree in half!

AND the fantastic sketch comedy show that I write for on CBC Radio, The Irrelevant Show was nominated for ‘Best Audio Show/Series.’
