Devin Mahoney and the Road from Scrubs to the Uptown Comedy Festival
Episode description
As a kid, Devin Mahoney wanted to be on SNL. He settled for getting a degree from Syracuse and finding a spot in the writers room at NBC, on a show called Scrubs. He spent five years there as a production assistant, writer's assistant, etc. and even wrote an episode in Season 8 called My Comedy Show. He was in the room when Bill Lawrence wrote the finale, too. Mahoney also worked on Better Off Ted, Outsourced and the Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. He moved back to Utica, N.Y., in 2018 and founded the Uptown Theatre for Creative Arts, which has given a stage to local talent -- for improv and stand-up. The Uptown Comedy Festival, which runs from Oct. 5 to Oct. 8, is the latest project. It combines improv, stand-up and sketch and will feature 60 performances from all across the United States, Canada and London.
