About

Hey how’s it going? If you’re new to the site, please pardon any aesthetic/functional flaws as it’s still under construction.

Oh and if you’re not new to the site, welcome back, sorry I haven’t fixed it yet.

My full name is Tristan Andrew Schaffer-Goldman – I know, it’s long and surprisingly Jewish. I’ve also been called Triscuit, Sonny, and T-Bag (by my real friends).

I’m an Independent Entertainment Professional who acts, writes, and does improv/sketch/stand-up comedy in NYC. I’m also a freelance violinist/fiddler, trained acrobat, and in my spare time I make masks like this one:  Bane Cosby.

I graduated with honors and a BS in theater from Skidmore College, where I specialized in Commedia dell’Arte. I have trained at the British-American Drama Academy in Oxford, England, the Accademia dell’Arte in Arezzo, Italy, Second City in Chicago, and most recently the UCB in New York City. My work has appeared on ESPNU, ESPN News, The Golf Channel, Funny Or Die, and on several Youtube channels including Official Comedy, Look TV, and Geeking Out.
