He currently teaches sketch comedy at Paper Mill Playhouse and currently produces benefit shows for the nonprofit&nbsp;<em>Grassroots Comedy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benny has worked in production for industry legends like The Jim Henson Company, Broadway Video and HBO\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/em>. He was also a writer on&nbsp;<em>Curb Your Enthusiasm<\/em>, sending material to and receiving feedback directly from Larry David and Jeff Schaffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benny\u2019s teaching style focuses on helping people drop self-consciousness and tap into a more natural, expressive version of themselves. His sessions are freeing, supportive, and built on the belief that anyone can be great at improv. Bring Benny a PB&amp;J (low sugar jelly) and you\u2019ve got a friend for life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fun fact: Benny famously produced the live stage reading of&nbsp;<em>The Interview<\/em>&nbsp;in protest of Sony\u2019s decision to pull the film, a bold move that drew massive media attention from The New York Times, NPR, and Rolling Stone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who want to keep going, we are offering a 6-week Level 2&nbsp;<em>From Practice to Performance<\/em>&nbsp;workshop that ends with a live showcase.
