Thank you to fellow Peace Corps alum Avery and our friend Gia for having me on their podcast!

Stream now to hear me talk about non-binary identity :)

AWF Mag

I’m back up on AWF Magazine! I honestly don’t which one is more of a roast—saying that William Barr looks like Steve Bannon or saying Steve Bannon looks like William Barr.

A GAY ICON

Grateful to Kami Dimitrova and Alex Otis for giving me the opportunity to perform my new character, ‘Ethel Mer-man,’ at their weekly ‘Exorcise Your Demons’ show at PIT Loft (Mondays at 10:30PM)! Puns are the lowest form of comedy, and honestly, so am I.

BORDERS

I spent this Labor Day weekend working on a very special project: a reading of the first act of McGuire & Simon’s Borders at NYTB.

Borders is a beautiful adaptation of the Israeli film The Bubble, in which an Israeli soldier and Palestinian refugee attempt to explore love in liberal Tel Aviv.

BIGGER? SUGAR? FIGURE?

This May, I performed a play with some amazing improvisors from the hip hop improv group Off Top, produced by Ray Morency. The play was Bigger? Sugar? Figure? by writer Adi Eshman, who did a beautiful job highlighting the surreptitious racism of white liberalism, and the cast included very funny people Kristin Kirkley, Raquel Palmas and Billy Soco (who previously played my boyfriend in Martha Cipolla for President at the PIT). Max Friedman directed. If you ever have a chance (I'm talking to you, musician friends), check out the venue: R&D Studios Bushwood in Ridgewood, Queens (off the Halsey L)!

Learning and performing a whole play in less than 10 days wasn't easy (I was a last minute put-in), but with the support of the rest of the cast and Max, I did it! It was fun to rap on stage again, and a very good thing that my character is not supposed to be particularly great at it... Haha

4x15 @ MTF

I joined forces with composer Bobby Cronin and playwright Crystal Skillman once again to help bring their new, yet-untitled work-in-progress to life at Musical Theatre Factory's most recent 4x15 presentation. I played an NPR host, which...fits, yeah? It was fun reading with Ali Stroker again and getting to work with director David Perlow (Attention Theatre) and music director Jeremy Robin Lyons.

I'm Kevin Necciai. Back next time with more stories of this American Li-- Just kidding. But keep your eyes open for more updates next month!

MEET UP

Mark Abramowitz's queer thriller Meet Up, in which I play the lead opposite a very handsome and scary Jordan Sangalang, is out of post and making the festival rounds. So far, the film has won 1st place jury prize at the 2017 Yellow Ape Film Festival and is taking on both coasts as an official selection of both the Eclipse International Film Festival (where it is also a finalist) and AltFest NYC.

I recently received a fan email through my website from a young gay man in São Paulo, Brazil, and he reminded me of the importance of queer visibility in media. To feel seen by content creators is a powerful thing that many people take for granted.

UPDATE: Meet Up is now on Amazon Prime! Stream the worst date of my life here.

MOMSPLAINED

The webisode I shot for Scary Mommy's webseries 'Momsplained' is out and scarring Evangelical Christians across the country. FACT: Did you know that it's legal to breastfeed in public in every state in the US except Idaho? Know your rights! And get it together, Idaho. Check out the video below:

PUZZLED

The new trailer for the series Puzzled by director Michael Bergmann is up at puzzledseries.com! I play William, the Type A Assistant Director on a crime-show-within-a-show who misinterprets the flirtations of the show's lead actor, Bruna (played by French pop artist/actor Melissa Mars). And while you're creepin', check out Michael's website at michaelbergmann.art.
