Michael Lewis

"For the bio, feel free to have fun with it. I don't care if you put an excerpt from the Robot Chicken ending song (transcribed below) or completely make up something about how I was traumatized by a bird as a child and have thus spent my life training and honing my skills for their destruction--it's up to you.

Radhika Ramana Howell

Born in sticky mid-July, 

I like to think I have an eye 

For where to sow my birthday dollars. 

Not with bars or bleached-out collars.

To freshest, vibrant, buzzy talent!

To local folks, ripe with jokes!

Here’s the place for you and me.

(No, seats won’t be like AMC.)

But raw and real, they’ll touch our feels. Glad you’re here. Sit with me. :)
