who is this clown?

"Even my name is funny."
Riley is a comedy writer and performer from the UK by way of Romania and Florida - so no, you can’t place his accent. He writes comedy like he does his taxes - hating his parents for letting him do it, and making almost all of it up.
As a performer, he started out at Shakespeare's Globe in London and climbed his way all the way to UCB Sunset - though Riley is most famous for his work in commercials as 'quirky guy, NOT leading man looks'. As a writer, his work has screened at film festivals such as TIFF, Austin, and won him the IMDb New Filmmaker of the Year Award. His pilot 'Paydirt' was one of Tracking Board's Top 3 pilots of 2021. Riley currently lives in Los Angeles where he continues to write, perform and grab lunches for some of the biggest names in comedy - most recently Nick Kroll and Mel Brooks on 'History of The World, Part II'. |
