EXCLUSIVE: Harvardwood on Wednesday announced Madi Stine, Anthony Zonfrelli and Warner James Wood as the winners of their 17th Writers Competition, also naming Wood as their Most Staffable TV Writer for 2023

Woohoo! A third script of mine advanced to the

After a great show an audience member told me, "That was AMAZING! When you're famous, I'm gonna tell my friends I knew that guy back when he was nothing!"
So it is with a heavy heart that I announce that, despite my 5 1/2 years of hard work in comedy, I am now back to "nothing"
SHORT TIME
When an out-of-shape deadbeat finds a loophole allowing him to go back and finish senior year, he decides to honor his dead dad's local legacy and prove his own worth by winning a High School State Wrestling Championship…as an adult.

Once I was on a date and I knocked over the drink of a woman on another date. There was only a sip or two left, but I still offered to buy her another one. Instead of saying thanks she said, “iT wAs A LoNg IsLaNd iCeD tEa!” and I still hear her voice in my nightmares
BABYLON
A raunchy, referential mockumentary set in the unique (and shockingly horny) world of Ancient Babylon with King Nebuchadnezzar II's eccentric royal family, supernatural mythology, and, you know, the occasional murdered insolent civilian.
