Hi, I’m Choksi, a Children’s & Family Emmy-nominated writer, recognized for my work on Fred Rogers Productions’ Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. I staffed on Mo Willems’ Unlimited Squirrels, a cartoon series for all ages—or as Mo puts it, "from birth to death." I’ve penned scripts for Sesame Workshop, PBS, Nickelodeon, Apple TV, and Netflix. I’m in the Writers' Guild, the Animation Guild, and I’m a Sesame Workshop Writers’ Room fellow.
Previously, I wrote on staff for the Refinery 29 talk show, After After Party. I hosted Fuse TV’s White Guy Talk Show, where I chatted about pop culture and wore suits I couldn't afford. I also performed on-camera in numerous digital sketches for Comedy Central.
A 15 year stand up comedy veteran, I won The Boston Comedy Festival and performed on Fox TV and Sirius/XM radio. I produced and hosted two acclaimed live stand up showcases in Brooklyn: Comedians You Should Know NYC and Brown Privilege Comedy. I trained at the Second City, Annoyance and iO comedy theaters.
I like to craft with felt. I love my wife, my daughter, and four of my friends. I go by my last name, so call me Choksi. I think you should be nice to yourself and I am impressed by your power.
