What gets me out of bed AND keeps me up at night: using the power of comedy and pop culture to shift perceptions and promote equality. I’m a brand builder, creative strategist, and writer-about and producer of culture change. I am founder and CEO of GOLD Comedy, the comedy school, creative network, and content studio for women/non-binary folks who want to be their funniest selves. I’m also co-host, with Ginna Green, of A Bintel Brief: The Podcast, which brings the Forward’s iconic advice column into the audio age. With supergenius Chris Kalb, I co-created (in 1997!) one of the earliest internet success stories: Breakup Girl, the only superhero who can both bend steel bars and mend broken hearts. I’m an award-winning journalist, author and novelist, communications executive, and comedy producer/performer/instructor. Plus a co-founder of the comedy/event series Persisticon, which raises money to elect feminist, pro-abortion women. I am also a former Tonya Harding lookalike, which is a long story.
