Justin Monticello
Los Angeles, CA
After growing up in the beautiful suburbitopia of New Jersey, I escaped to the Boston area to study Psychology at Harvard, graduating in 2009. Prior to moving to Los Angeles, my wanderlust took me to Paris to study acting at the Sorbonne and improve my black leather fashion sense, Ecuador to train English teachers and flee knife-wielding protestors on a moped, Italy to write a travel book and sprint through Naples holding a deep-fried calzone over my head, and around North America, Europe, and Egypt.
In LA, I've written comedy features for producers at Paramount, tried and failed to “be seen” at a “lounge,” and written, directed and performed in several satirical viral videos. Follow me on Twitter to keep up with my latest comedy shorts and my new series, The Truth Dossier, premiering soon. Don't worry, I don't post spoilers, I don't have an incontinent baby, and I don't think food is photogenic.

It was featured on Funny or Die and covered by The Hollywood Reporter, The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, The Daily Beast, The Atlantic, and many others, and led to (hilariously) combative interviews on CNN and Fox News.
The TSA's 12 Banned Items of Christmas reached #4 internationally on Reddit, was covered by Forbes and Business Insider, and has been viewed over 1.3 million times, further proving that everyone loves airport security.
