I am a comedy writer and performer.
As performer, I can do clean comedy, including custom material tailored for a specific customer or industry. As a longtime software engineer, I have tons of tech-themed material, if your audience is into that.
I write narrative prose (fiction and non-fiction), sketches and screenplays. My latest short screenplay, "Back To The Office!", is a Finalist in the Portland Comedy Film Festival. If you need a writer to craft funny dialog for a corporate event, that's my bread and butter. If you're giving a talk to a large audience and need to punch it up with humor, I can help you bring the funny.

January 7, 2026Rob is a fantastic, funny, and clever comedian. He is quick witted and had the whole room laughing out loud. We really appreciate him performing for us not once but twice. I would hire him again in an instant. Great job again Rob and most of all thank you?

December 9, 2025Rob warmed us up with a gig about engineering and metrics. It was just what an engineering team can relate to and it started the offsite in a good mood.

May 12, 2025Irony Man was invaluable in helping me write my comedy set. He took the time to truly understand who I am and how I wanted to present myself. He worked closely with me to upgrade my set material to the next level. Rob is very witty and clever. He is honest, helpful, and very easy to work with. Whether you are looking for a comedic genius to perform, run a show, help you with writing your comedy set, he is your man, Irony Man}
Best,

June 13, 2023Rob took a general idea I had for a bit and helped punch it up, write additional jokes, and rewrote lines to help the bit flow better overall. He wrote/punched up my material fairly quickly, and he is easy to work with. He made helpful suggestions and stretched my 1-2 min bit into a powerful 5-6 min bit. I would definitely commission him again! If you’re looking for a writer to help make good material into GREAT material, Rob is the writer for you!!!

If you hire me as a script writer, you will get entertaining, sharp, funny dialog that is realistic and not corny. I have written sketches for my own productions as well as for professional performers that have gotten rave receptions.
If you hire me as a performer, you will get clean, intelligent material that mixes wry social commentary with every day observational humor. My material can be customized to appeal to any audience.
A New York native living in the Bay Area, I have worked in the tech industry for 25 years, writing corporate- and tech-themed comedy material for some of my employers. I began doing standup in 2021 and have performed on stage at the San Joe Improv, Alameda Comedy Club, Rooster T Feathers and various local showcases. I wrote and produced my first short comic sketch in 2022. I live in Sunnyvale, CA with my wife, two cats and a tortoise.
