Me on a good day.

Note from the Writer/Creator:
SingleDumb started in the Spring of 2011.
I was single. I had never dated, really.
Everyone was talking about online dating. No, thanks! I was embarrassed to even entertain the idea of meeting someone over the internet.
After much reluctance, I created my first online dating profile and went on my first online date. OkCupid. His name was Mike and on our coffee date, he ordered two sandwiches.
I went on many first dates and amassed quite the collection of g-d first date stories. I guess we've all been there: trying to figure out who we are as we sip on an $8 beer in front of a stranger. I felt alone in my pathetic dating life so I began sharing my stories at stand-up and storytelling open-mics around New York City. It was cathartic, a heck of a lot cheaper than therapy, and, yes, less scary than dating itself.
And, thus the SingleDumb journey began as I turned my stories into scripts and brought my tales to the screen through the help and amazing talents of my producer/director/actor/dp/soundmixer/editor/HMU/PA friends.
Season 1 of SingleDumb will launch on the interwebs on Tuesday, October 21st. I am very excited to share with you all!
Stay tuned for updates: @singledumbshow
