Hire the Best Comedy Writers in New York

Hi, my name is Nick; I am a writer and performer based in New York City. I have a strong comedic background having written, performed and taught stand-up, sketch, and improv all over the city. I am a producer at spit&vigor theater co., we have produced multiple off-broadway shows and my last play Anonymous was listed in Time Out as one of the best immersive shows in the city. I have written plays, web series, films, and television and have had scripts featured in film festivals worldwide. I love working as a script doctor, helping people develop their work, or simply adding comedy and humor to people's projects.

I may be a top-rated plus Comedy Writer and copywriter with 15+ years of experience, but still, my greatest achievement was winning an argument with my wife one time. Hey. I'm Adrian. I write content that sells. Content that addresses pain points and converts. Content that will get your target audience to laugh. Because humor, when done right, connects and drives results. Notable clients include: General Electric, BBDO NY, Procter & Gamble, Love Island/ITV Studios, Gala Games, Eaton Corporation, Funko Inc., LesserEvil, PeaTos, and so much more. As a COMEDY WRITER (and recovering stand-up comedian), I'll write or punch up your material so that it's dangerously funny. Screenplays, animated series, episodic series, sketches, stand-up, roasts, video game scripts, comics, plays, and more. As a COPYWRITER, I write unique, pinpoint-accurate, and hilarious copy for B2B, B2C, SaaS, fintech, direct response copywriting, email marketing, commercials, corporate videos, VSLs, explainer videos, social media, websites, blogs, slogans, and more. As a SPEECHWRITER, I've written drop-dead funny content for TED talks, TEDx talks, keynotes, fundraisers, weddings, corporate, eulogies, sales summits, motivational, and more. As an AI FILMMAKER, using Google Labs Veo 3, I'm a dual-threat copywriter and AI-video generation specialist, who can concept, write, and fully produce your video end-to-end. I've even created funny content for CPA's, dental hygienists, and data analysts. (They say it couldn't be done.) Comedy Training: Upright Citizens Brigade, Peoples Improv Theater, NY Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, NY Film Academy, Chicago City Limits, The Actor's Project NYC. My expertise is writing and producing humor that sells. And I would love to work with you. You've read this far, so why not holler at me, shoot me a message, or invite me to your project? Let's do this.

I'm a comedy writer. With nearly three decades writing character-driven comedy, I specialize in conversational content that sounds like a person wrote it. I write social media scripts, brand voice content, punch-ups for presentations and screenplays, and comedy sketches for tech companies, healthcare professionals, lifestyle brands, and more. I started in Chicago's comedy scene writing and performing at Second City's Donny's Skybox Theater, Lincoln Lodge, and Chicago Comedy Festival, then moved to NYC and continued at The Creek and the Cave and Manhattan Monologue Slam. I'm also the author of a dark comedy novel.

Here to help take your script or idea to the next level! With a decade’s worth of experience as a script reader for companies such as The Black List, Andrew Lauren Productions, The Donners’ Company, Coverfly, Shore Scripts, and many more, I bring extensive knowledge of scriptwriting to any project. Working in development has allowed me to understand what makes a project stand out and how to get it to the point of selling. Whether that be editing your project, providing feedback, or adding my own writing to your idea, I will be happy to be a collaborative partner and add complete professionalism from start to finish. Having spent a long period of my career in development, I have shifted my focus more toward my own writing. This has allowed me to see tremendous success in my own projects, with my psychological thriller, THRESHOLD, ranking in the top lists on The Black List for the genre. It has received glowing reviews, calling it “hard to put down,” “leaves us on the edge of our seats,” and one reader stated that “Because this script is so well written, it feels as if it could be a strong calling card for the writer.” Outside of my own writing, I have also helped numerous clients ghostwrite and punch up their scripts. This work has spanned all different genres and mediums, from noir to comedy to thrillers and dramas, including work in TV, Film, Podcasts, and YouTube. I am a highly adaptable writer and have the right experience to make any project stand out. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions about rate or turnaround times. Thanks for reading, and I hope to work together soon!
