Northeastern University’s publication Northeastern News was kind enough to interview me about some of the success I have found online with stand up videos and with Zebro sketch videos. They also said my name was “Elisha Taffe Riles.”

UPDATE: The folks at the online newspaper changed my name back to Yaffe.

WERS 89.9 FM interview [listen to it]

Melina Schuler from WERS 88.9FM interviewed me a little while back for the public affairs show You Are Here. Now you can listen to it if you want to. It is a bit weird because they came and recorded me at the Comedy Studio when there were about 5 people in the audience so it kind of sounds like I am telling jokes to my family at dinner.

The Daily Hampshire Gazette (Northampton, MA) [read it]

My hometown paper wrote up an article for a show I did. The show ended up being a bust because one of my favorite bands and the reason why I was really excited about the gig (The Young Republic) had to cancel because their van broke down in New Jersey.
