BIOGRAPHY:

Born in Long Beach, California and raised in Medford and along the North Shore of Massachusetts, Evan Fleischer is an active writer and comedian.

From 2004 to 2008, he was a member of the comedy troupe Chocolate Cake City, who released “Brokeback to the Future” in February of 2006 to worldwide attention and acclaim. While there, he was a writer, performer, camera man, video editor, sound and light technician, PR representative, a team player, booker, show runner, and — for a time — he also ran the troupe. His work was singled out by The Guardian and the head writer of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno* as — respectively — “intelligent, admirable, and very funny” and “Very funny and clever.”

As a writer, his work has appeared in McSweeney’s, The Weekly Dig, Interrobang Magazine, Bostonist, the Newburyport Daily News, Word Riot, and has been featured on the front page of Boston.com and Ron Silliman’s blog. The host of PBS’ Basic Black thinks “[he is] a true original.”

He is currently assisting The Davis Bookstore Project and Rose Metal Press.
