THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER, SCHOOL’S OUT and it’s time for some sketch team debuts!

BITE
Choosing your culinary comedic experience from an eclectic, limited seasonal menu was a bold move by current service industry employees, Kate Jarecki and Analyse Capodiferro. But the ingredients at BITE are fresh and funny, with absolutely no preservatives. We aim to provide a variety of laughs for every diet.
Produced by Staff Producer Jason Tyus Smith
Executive Produced by Ali Reza Farahnakian
From Texas, not of Texas (yes, there’s a difference), Jason Tyus Smith is here to do his absolute best to not do his absolute worst. Catch him at a constant 11 in the PIT office, his sketch team Judy Pryor or in Brooklyn buying Hal’s Lemon Flavored Seltzer water.
Ali Reza Farahnakian was born in Esfahan, Iran in the fall of ‘68. He came to America in the summer of ‘69. He is an immigrant. He is not eligible to seek the office of the presidency in America and is therefore a second class citizen in this country. Maybe that’s why he got into “comedy”. His teachers include Michael McCarthy, Charna Halpern, Del Close, Maryanne Thebus and Wynn Handman. He is an alumnus of ImprovOlympic, The Second City Chicago and SNL. He was a founding member of UCB and The PIT. He has acted at The Steppenwolf, BAM, and Playwrights Horizon. He has been in numerous TV shows, commercials, films and voiceovers. He has been doing this work for over three decades because he loves it and because it doesn’t seem like work. We started The PIT in 2002 in New York City.
