BEHIND THE SCENES
Moviemaker magazine interviewed me as part of Coming Out's acceptance to New Film Makers Showcase in LA.
I worked out a lot of the material on stage before it made it into the script of Coming Out. And some of the bits came from my book Wreck Yourself.
The cast of Coming Out is made up of the best of the best from the Houston stand up and improv comedy scene. Being on set with these funny people was a bucket list moment.
Hands down one of the funniest characters was grandpa played by Andy Huggins. Go watch his special on Apple TV asap.
