Bio
Aub Driver
Alex is a true go getter. He's a proven writer and interviewer for MTV (via MTV Geek) as well as a producer for NYC's own Comic Book Club, a live talk show. Alex has made the rounds of the comic book entertainment world, as well as the comedy underground of New York City which is no easy feat and has accomplished great things in the past five years. His continued efforts are incredibly beneficial to the comic medium and I have no doubts that he will succeed. Anyone lucky enough to work with Alex will witness his talent immediately.
