Projectorfest: Running in the Family + UNCnapping

Projectorfest presents multimedia comedy shows from Brent Birnaum and Josh Nasser

These shows are presented as a part of Projectorfest 2026, a weeklong showcase of ambitious multimedia-driven comedy projects. More at projectorfest.com. This performance includes two 30-minute shows.

RUNNING IN THE FAMILY – Brent Birnaum
In 2010, Brent Birnbaum was disqualified from his Bronx Science student body president election for breaking a barely enforced rule. Even worse: his dad had the exact same thing happen decades earlier at NYU. Told through interwoven timelines, Brent revisits both campaigns—featuring Facebook drama, dorm politics, a future NYC mayor (or two), and a not-yet-famous music producer—in a show that treats school politics with the seriousness it never deserved.

UNCNAPPING – Josh Nasser
Hanging with UNC has never been so cool :) (Ignore the part where he's kidnapped you lol)
