Hi!

I am an Emmy-nominated, WGA award-winning, Peabody-award winning comedian, writer, cartoonist, actor, and hyphen-hunting multi-hyphenate.

I am currently a writer/performer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a cartoonist at The New Yorker, a best-selling author of two books, and a performer with the Improvised Shakespeare Company. I also perform all around New York City as myself. My award-winning short film, “Accountabilibuddies,” was an official selection at the Just For Laughs Film Festival in Vancouver, and I’ve had two pilots premiere at the New York wTelevision Festival.

I developed my comedy chops in Chicago, where I performed with The Second City, the Chicago Just For Laughs Festival, iO, The Annoyance, ComedySportz, and approximately one thousand bars.

On television, I have appeared on Comedy Central, CBS, Pop TV, and several national commercials.

Before The Late Show, I was a staff writer for The Opposition with Jordan Klepper. I’ve also written humor for The New Yorker, The Onion Labs, and McSweeney’s.

Please keep scrolling and thanks for being here. The 2018 Ron Perlman movie, Asher, totally tanked my search results, so arriving at this page is a genuine achievement.

Cartoons

My cartoons have appeared in places like The New Yorker, Alta Journal, Airmail, and Weekly Humorist. Here are a few I enjoy:

My newest book is out September 2nd, 2025: Hi, It's Me Again
The cover of 'Hi, it's me Again', with a large man reaching out and picking a smaller version of himself up off a city street with several other different sized selves watching.
Or step back in time to behold my first book: Well, This Is Me
The cover of 'Well, this is me', a cartoon collection from Asher Perlman.
These perfect gifts for every single person on the planet are available.

Videos

I’ve written a handful of things and performed in an armful.

Here’s my reel:

I wrote and performed in this short, which premiered at Just For Laughs:

I lost my mind in quarantine and made this computer screen movie:
