The Hot Folder

Presented by the New York Comedy Festival

When a classmate finds a folder on Jeremy’s laptop labeled ‘Hot’, Jeremy's teenage fantasies come to life to help him navigate the fraught social politics of high school.

The Hot Folder is a multimedia comedy solo show which explores the dualities contained in a childhood bedroom – as an incubator of creativity and exploration vis a vis a dungeon of shame – and what you might tell your teen self when you inevitably must leave that space.

Jeremy Pinson is a Brooklyn-based actor, writer, and character comedian. He's done sketch and character shows all across NYC and is thrilled to return to Caveat for his solo show debut. His thesis play 'Shutterbug' won the Claeyssens Prize for Best Play from George Washington University. Jeremy wrote, produced, and directed the queer "will they, won't they" short 'The Art of Being' which is currently in post-production. He's commercially repped by Innovative Artists and has appeared in ads for Venmo, Monday.com, and IHG Hotels.
