A graduate of the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts at the New York University, he rose to fame through his Twitter account. He is also a writer and is the first comedian to win the Funniest Person on Twitter Award, part of the Comedy Central Awards. This award was won in 2012, two years after he was declared by Paste magazine as one of the funniest people on Twitter. One of the three starring in this event, he is bound to leave all those who have bought Rob Delaney with Neko Case and Kelly Hogan tickets mad with laughter.
