ERIK was born & raised in Chicago. After getting bullied during the first round of his USA Baseball tryouts, his Grandfather (and best friend) wiped his tears and asked him “Are ya gonna let those fuckin’ pricks steal ya dream?” Erik went on to become a goddamned child baseball prodigy.

While he was in college at Oregon State, Erik fell in love with storytelling and decided to follow his new dream to NYC where he attended The Neighborhood Playhouse 2-year Acting Conservatory, studied screenwriting at Jacob Krueger Studio, and got a job working as a personal trainer at Equinox.

During his time waking up at 4am to train a gauntlet of toxic rich pricks for pennies on the dollar, Erik was famous for retreating to the staff lounge to improvise loopy, uncensored sketches about all the things he’d like to say and do to his elitist asshole clients.

His revenge comedy web series, KILLER WORKOUT, is being licensed by Revry.TV and was a finalist for Sundance Episodic Lab. His pilot script for his irreverent comedy, PITITSKI’S GYM, was named top 5 TV Pilots of 2022 by Save The Cat!, and his pitch for his half-hour irreverent comedy, OLD FARTS, was a finalist in the Austin Film Festival pitch competition. He loves writing about the struggles of common people to live out their dreams… and eviscerate entitled fucks. Erik’s favorite pastime is chewing on edibles with his wife, and dancing until his knees give out.

YVONNA was born and raised in Washington DC to two parents who spent most of their time trying to dissuade her from getting into the entertainment business...too bad for them! After obtaining a very expensive degree from NYU in Environmental Studies – which currently rests easy under her bed – she quit her last dead-end startup job in 2016 to pursue her own dreams rather than those of a charismatic CEO who would just as easily fire her as she would pay for an open bar holiday party at Le Bernadine where Yvonna’s manager ended the night crying in the street (hypothetically of course). Thus started Yvonna’s lifelong pursuit as an actress, now producer, maybe even writer somewhere down the line. As an actress, Yvonna has appeared most recently alongside Ed O’Neil and Cleopatra Coleman in the FX/HULU series Clipped. She is so excited to work with her partner in life and creativity to produce hilarious and, at times, obscene glimpses of the human experience that make us laugh, question, and possibly even get along a little bit better.
