The Jeff Lewis 5-Minute Comedy Hour season 1 finale: Office

Look for me in the big season 1 finale of The Jeff Lewis 5-Minute Comedy Hour! Warning: there is adult language, so Internet Mom says viewer discretion is advised.

Written by and starring Jeff Lewis (Vork from The Guild) and directed by Sean Becker of Awkward Films. Me as the Intern. Also starring Alex Albrecht (of Diggnation), Jerry Lambert (ABC’s Sons & Daughters, Kevin Butler from Sony’s PlayStation 3 ad campaign), Ed Marques, Ted Michaels (Puppet Up!), Tara Perry (The Movie Maven) and Robin Thorsen (Clara on The Guild).

This was such fun to shoot. There’s a longer take of me fumbling around with the water for what seemed like 5 minutes. If they used it, they would’ve had to change the title of the show. Check out the rest of the season, the show is hilarious. Make sure to post lots of comments about how amazing I am but don’t make it too obvious. Just play it cool. And definitely don’t mention that I told you to do that. Then it would be really awkward.
