The Greener Pastures Crew

Meet the writers, founders and funny people behind Greener Pastures

Aggie our mascot and funniest writer

Teresa Douglas writes primarily about business and parenting from her home in Vancouver B.C. The pandemic radicalized her, turning her into a comedic writer (a.k.a. extremist). Her work has appeared in Robot Butt and Humor Outcasts.

She has an MFA in Fiction from Sarah Lawrence College, and MBA from The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. She has studied satire with The Second City. This makes her a professional B.S.er, which comes in handy when convincing her kids to go to bed.

Ash Jurberg is a humor writer from Melbourne, Australia.

His work has been published in Slackjaw, Robot Butt, LOL Comedy, his mom’s Xmas card, a few bathroom walls and soon in (INSERT YOUR PUBLICATION NAME here).

In addition to writing, he has done stand up and improv in which he was described as “that guy on stage”. His writing skills have been honed while studying at Second City.

He has been to 105 countries and is welcome back to many of them.

Amy Currul is a comedy and satire writer living in Brooklyn, New York. Her work has appeared on Weekly Humorist, Robot Butt, and Little Old Lady Comedy, which is a miracle because she enjoys watching TV much more than she does writing. She has studied comedy and satire at The Second City and the Magnet Theater. You can check out her website http://www.amycurrul.com or follow her on Twitter for updates on her daily shenanigans.

Brett Shollenberger is a comedy writer whose work has run in McSweeney’s, UCNTNY, Points in Case, and more. He is a satirist and sketch writer/performer.

Kegan Witzki is a writer, actor, and musician from Chicago now based in New York City. He has an M.A. in Classical Acting from LAMDA, has studied all over Chicago’s comedy scene (writing and improvisation), and is an expert in homemade smoothies. It’s a great joy to be working with friends he’s met. www.keganwitzki.com

Michael Leonetti is a humor writer in Philadelphia who is hell bent on making you think he is as funny as he thinks he is. Some of his words can be seen online at Weekly Humorist, Points in Case, Little Old Lady Comedy, and sometimes being spoken by him or others onstage. Michael is the head writer, co-director, and performer for the Philadelphia sketch comedy team Baby Science. He has taken comedy writing courses at Second City Online, and improv and sketch comedy courses at the Philadelphia Improv Theater. Follow him on Twitter @MLeonetti89 or look at his website for fun. www.michaelleonetti.com.

Cassie Soliday is a humor writer and cartoonist, based in Los Angeles. Currently, she sunlights as a staff writer in the animation industry and moonlights as someone who can have an existential crisis almost on cue. www.casassy.com

Kate Chrisman is a writer and editor in Berlin, Germany. She writes about parenting, the environment, and politics. Her work has appeared in the Belladonna and Points in Case. Kate has studied at Second City, Comedy Café Berlin, and the London School of Economics. As one internet commenter articulately put it, Kate is an easily wounded, hideous millennial. Find her at www.katerchrisman.com.

Megan Sarnacki is a humor writer, who has written for Points in Case and Weekly Humorist. You may spot her carrying a bowl of pasta and walking through a screen door — or at least, that’s what she did yesterday.
