Daniel
is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Jest Magazine
and Modern Humorist and whose sketches have been heard on the
NPR programs Rewind and Morning Edition. Recently, he was named
humor editor of the online magazine Ducts. He can also be seen
around New York performing as part of the improv troupe Robotski.
He lives in Brooklyn.
Ritch Duncan
Ritch Duncan is writer, comedian and
the editor-in-chief of the Brooklyn based humor magazine, Jest.
He has performed standup all over the country and written comedy
for a bunch of different television shows, which is sort of cool,
if that's the kind of thing that impresses you. Despite these lofty
sucesses, he still has never: a) owned a car b) purchased a new
couch or c) been to Los Angeles. He would like to do all three
of these things, although not necessarily in that order.
J.B. Miller
J .B. Miller
was born in Massachusetts but mostly grew up in London where he
learned English and attended a number of strict prep schools that
required uniforms and the best behavior. But he recovered and returned
to the U.S. where he went to high school a bit (in Massachusetts
again) and attended college (NYU - not that it makes much of a
difference). He refused to go to graduate school. He did some freelance
writing for The New York Times and Salon.com and is the only author
of the novel My Life in Action Painting (Grove Press) and the humor
collection The Satanic Nurses and Other Literary Parodies (St.
Martin's Press), plus a number of plays produced skittishly on
the New York stage, including "Bobby Supreme," "White
Lies," and "Shirkers."
