Here are some standup clips and writing samples. 

Look below for Stand Up, Essays, Comics, Satirical Articles, and more.

I have written standup, nonfiction essays, and sketch for over ten years. I’ve written for the Emmy-winning show The Mystery Hour, and comedian Yakov Smirnoff, in addition to other projects. For inquiries or work opportunities regarding writing—including scripts, punch-up, copywriting, or social media—please contact me at SnodgrassComic@gmail.com.

STAND UP

VIDEOS

The 2020 MTV MOVIE AWARDS hosted by Steven Castillo
Written, assembled, and produced in under two months during quarantine, this irreverent parody of the MTV Movie Awards features a cast of some of my favorite names in comedy today. I was proud to have written it with Steven (a frequent collaborator since our days in Chicago), and it is now available in its entirety on Vimeo. (Warning it contains adult language and themes)

SUFJAN’S SUPER CHRISTMAS SHOW
This parody concert and sketch show was conceived by me, and written by myself and Nicky Martin. The show also features original sketches from The Shrimp Boys, Cameron Gillette, and Megan Stalter, plus an original song by Mr. and Mrs. Wednesday Night (aka The Snow Birds, aka Lily and Charlie). NSFW, but very fun!!

"I Hold On" Music Video
I play a small role in this great music video for country music star Dierks Bentley.  Starring Evan Brace, if you don't blink much, you'll catch me and some of my other pals playing in Evan's character's band.
