Michael Seitzman (The Rainmaker)
He sold this show three times.
Take Manhattan (and London)
I am once again urging you to get tickets for both Sunday night Thrilling Adventure Hour shows in Brooklyn on October 26 and for the last remaining London show on November 1 before they’re gone!
I am particularly looking forward to those Brooklyn appearances, as the early show will be a “greatest hits” type of show featuring our entire cast, including Paul F. Tompkins, Marc Evan Jackson, Busy Philipps, Paget Brewster, Joshua Malina, and more revisiting episodes we haven’t performed live in decades. And the late show is the incomparable “WorkJuice Improv” starring the whole cast, who are incredible improvisers. (And Acker and I don’t have to write a thing!).
Get tix to all of the shows here.

👩🏽💻💜Loved this episode — especially around the 27 minute mark when he talks about staffing a writers room. Would love to know more about “finders, minders and grinders” and if you (Ben) have any experience with this.
Ben - will you guys be around before the 7pm Oct 25 Brooklyn show starts to sign some of your books? Happy to show up early.
