This one is straight-up comedy, folks. Write Club is a monthly reading series held in various cities across the US, my home of San Francisco being one. Here, it's run by Casey Childers and Steven Westdahl, two excellent writers who curate the series.

Each event consists of three matches of two writers apiece. Each writer reads an original seven-minute piece, and the audience judges as to which piece is the "Winner."

Me being me, my pieces tend towards the humorous, none more so than my recent channeling of the legendary Tennessee Williams. If he wrote a 1970s XXX screenplay. No actual swear words but definitely not for young ears.

To help perform the piece, I pressed two wonderful local actresses into service, Allison Page and Melissa Keith, as well as Casey and Steven (the latter of whom is a talented actor himself, and the former of whom, you'll see below, knows how to pick his spots).

The clip of the reading is almost worth watching just for Steven Westdahl's announcing of my name.

Thanks to Evan Karp for shooting the video.
