about me
Sachi Ezura is a comedy producer, development exec, and writer.
After graduating from Harvard, she decided to disappoint her parents by pursuing a career in comedy. Throughout her career, she has sought to elevate new voices from underrepresented communities, and challenge systems to promote equity and inclusion. She loves comedy at the intersection of intelligent, thought-provoking, radical content and the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard. She currently works as VP, Adult Animation for the MTV Entertainment Group, developing animated projects for Comedy Central and Paramount +.
Previously, she was Senior Producer at The Greene Space, a live event space for NY Public Radio, and a development consultant for Irony Point. She has produced on Refinery29’s After After Party, BET’s The Rundown w/ Robin Thede, and MTV’s Girl Code. She was Executive Producer of Development and Talent at Seriously.TV, a digital comedy channel under Verizon Hearst Media Partners, specializing in the intersection of comedy, politics, and social justice. She came up in television development at MTV2, overseeing casting for MTV’s hit comedy series Guy Code and Girl Code, and as Director of Original Programming at IFC.
Sachi has booked and produced comedy for the MTV Comedy Showcase, the IFC Comedy Showcase, the New York Comedy Festival, Laughter in the Park, and the annual showcase 50 First Jokes. She co-founded The Belly, a collective of female and queer independent comedy producers and directors. She has hosted and produced comedy shows at numerous venues across New York City, many of which are surprisingly still open. She studied improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, completing their Advanced Study program, and has performed at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival. She co-wrote the book Girl Code: A Single Girl’s Guide to Sex and Dating and has been published in The New Yorker’s Daily Shouts and the New York Post. She lives in New Jersey with her husband Jake, their daughter Ellie, and two cats about which she feels increasingly ambivalent.
