"Opportunites multiply as they are seized."
--Sun Tzu

If you like politics, comic books, science-fiction and other sorts of nerdieness, you're my kind of people.

About my SNL Reviews . . . I've worked in the Chicago Improv Community for over 25 years and have had the opportunity to work alongside Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Chris Farley, Jim Belushi, Steve Carell, Horatio Sanz, Rachel Dratch as well as many more of the funniest writers, actors and Directors in the world. I tend to be a tough audience. . .

And just for the record, I don't play with dolls:
THEY'RE ACTION FIGURES!!!

Britethorn is both my Voice as well as my Guerrilla film making operation run by myself, John Kramer -- with a lot of help from my many friends in the Chicago Improv Community.
Political Satire is my main beat, but I've been known to get distracted from time to time and wander off into other areas of comedy -- like my series of "I HATE SPORTS" vlogs.

My work has appeared on shows such as CNN's "This Week in Politics" and I've made appearances on such disparate media platforms as FOX CHICAGO SUNDAY, WGN RADIO and AL JAZEERA ENGLISH'S "The Listening Post," where I am a regular contributor as one of their Global Village Voices.
I've also been interviewed by The New York Times as well as my hometwon paper, The Chicago Tribune.

My film (with Johnny Bruder) "Hit Men" was the winner of Sony Pictures/Crackle.com's first Short Film Award, for which I walked away with a $15,000 check as well as a pitch meeting at Columbia Pictures -- a great experience, but no sale -- although I did get to take a look at the Best Picture Oscar for "Kramer vs Kramer" in Columbia's lobby.
