His comedy pilot Salem, co-written with Julia Shiplett, was named to Out in Hollywood’s inaugural Out Loud List of the best unproduced pilots by queer writers.
As a performer, Drew debuted his solo hour, Ready for Bed, at Ars Nova, Off-Broadway. He co-produces Dramatic Reading, a series of comedic live reads of short-lived reality TV classics, at venues including The Bell House. The show has been featured in i-D and Interview.
