C. BRIAN SMITH
Storyteller
Uncomfortable talking about himself in the third person but
also sort of enjoying it - hails from Fairfield, Connecticut. He
graduated in 2001 from Yale University, where he sang with
The Whiffenpoofs (which is obviously still very important to
him because he mentioned it in the second line of this bio.
What a loser.) Anyway, after suffering from an over-abundance of self-
confidence and sure-footedness, C. Brian decided to move from
Manhattan to Hollywood to become a comedy writer. He has since been
cured of these maladies. In addition to assisting writers on "My Boys",
"Side Order of Life" and "Cleveland", C. Brian is a regular contributor to
Mean Magazine and MSN/Match.com, and has performed his essays at Sit
n' Spin, Tasty Words, Wordplay, and SPARK. He's going to go back to bed
now.
