About the Show

Behind every great idea, there are 50 other terrible ones that came first. Your Worst Idea takes the garbage, shines it up, and gives it a second chance. Each show, we'll invite a guest to offer up a never-before-seen work of art (a poem from 7th grade! A terrible sketch! Pages from a diary!). Metal Boy will perform a live reading, then like a phoenix, spin comedy gold from its ashes.

The cast of Your Worst Idea includes comedy vets from all over NYC—credits include: Search Party (HBO), Birdgirl and The Venture Bros. (Adult Swim), the Rude Tales of Magic podcast, Baby Wants Candy, Reductress, The Truth podcast, Story Pirates, Improv Everywhere, and UCB Comedy.

They also once performed an improv show before a free screening of a Zack Galifiankis movie.

Heather Seltzer will be playing Portia in the upcoming NYC Fringe show "Portia and Ellen," a tragic comedy that she wrote about marriage and cancel culture. A screenwriter represented by Zero Gravity Management, she was shortlisted for the 2025 5th Cannes Screenplay List and was a 2023 Big Break Screenwriting Contest Finalist. She is an alum of Broadway to Go, Magnet Theater's Lady Sketch Show and the all-female indie improv team Mama Like. Heather is the creator, director and a writer of “Dance Party Time,” an award-winning comedic web series for kids that stars neurodivergent young adults.
