Improv Show", "Twelfth Night" at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park New York, "Pieces of Home" at The Independent Theater in NYC's West Village. Jack's last all-consuming endeavor was "Live From the Grave...Its John Belushi", a sketch improv multimedia show which I wrote, produced and played the title character in. I also fronted a band for that one, which was pretty freaking sweet. I perform all around town, doing stand up and improv. SAG-Aftra, AEA Find him: @JackZullo www.jackzullo.com
