John Lutz: Comedian in New York

About John Lutz

John Lutz is a comedian, actor, and screenwriter known to many viewers as the deadpan presence he played on *30 Rock*. He spent several seasons writing for *Saturday Night Live* and later joined the writing staff at *Late Night with Seth Meyers*, a background that shows up in his tight timing and sketch-bred turns of phrase. In New York City he appears at the UCB Theatre, including two-person sets with Peter Grosz such as *2 Square*. His work tends to favor precision over looseness, treating stand-up like crafted scenes rather than confessional monologue.
