It's my birthday and I'm doing a show!

I'm turning 50 - FIFTY! - and to celebrate I'm doing a show with my wonderful sketch team, 15 Minutes Away. If you're in the NYC area on Saturday, November 19, 2022, at 9pm, please come down to the Pit Loft on W. 29th Street and check it out! But you should probably buy a ticket first...

I'll be acting, and I wrote some of the sketches, and everyone's really funny, and this is our third of four monthly shows at the Pit and we're generally just a swell bunch of people. Come and watch and wish me a happy birthday! After the show, not during, please don't shout happy birthday at me while I'm acting, I'm Method.

After the show I'll be at Pioneers, a bar a few doors down, so you can hang out and say hi! Maybe wish me happy birthday once we're there, that's probably more appropriate than shouting it during the show. I don't understand why you want to do that so badly.

Two more links for you while I have you. I've started a second newsletter just for my performances, so if you wanna know when I'm acting, writing something that other people are acting, directing something that other people wrote and are acting, etc., you can sign up! It's kind of informal, I only send something out when a show's coming up.

And of course, my original mailing list is still active, my author newsletter. It's been pretty quiet lately, but I've got a new book coming in 2023, so it'll be gearing up again soon. If you're not already on there, sign up and you get a free story!

This turned pretty promotional, but mostly I wanted to express my strong wish to have a good turnout at the show (and the bar...) for my 50th birthday. That's the best way to wish me a happy birthday, just show up! Much better than shouting it at me from the audience while I'm in the middle of a sketch! Don't do that!
