James Kriz – Weekly Humorist

About James Kriz

I'm a comedy writer/actor, screenwriter, and author, trained at Oberlin College, NYU Tisch, Second City, the Upright Citizens Brigade, and the People’s Improv Theater. My work has been performed live in countless decrepit theaters, to unruly audiences of three or two. My work has also been published in silly places, including McSweeney's, the meat locker door of a Berttucci's in Harkus, Kansas, and the back bumper of your communist uncle Chet's 1988 Yugo. Also, my favorite movie is City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold.

I pretended to be asleep. I mean, have you seen Wolverine’s claws? And Deadpool’s double katanas? Those spandex-clad psychos could’ve skewered me. Anyways, they ran off with my cardigan.
