I’m a director and comedian.

I’m half of comedy duo Paulilu (follow our twitter here! I tweet as myself here.) We make short films and sketches. 

I most recently directed and co-wrote digital shorts for the Primetime Emmy Awards: “Emmy Training Day” featuring Joel McHale and Melissa McCarthy, and “Life After Emmy” featuring Jeremy Piven, Megan Mullally, Kristin Chenoweth, and Jackee.

Some quick links to some videos I’ve directed:

Dildo Sport

Pitching Vanessa Williams 

“Hey Guys!” with Jessica Alba

Diary of Zac Efron

“Fire!” for “Tudu, Turkey’s #1 pop star!”

The Last Supper

I also guest directed Broad City’s Episode Ten: Videochat.

I’ve done improv at both the UCB Theater and the Magnet Theater since 2005.

I graduated from Columbia University and would like to trade mix CDs with you on a monthly basis. I’m from Hadley, Massachusetts, and I love you.

You can email me at luciaaniello@gmail.com or hire me to write and/or direct your kajillion dollar comedy by calling Dave Becky or Josh Lieberman at 3 Arts in LA or Avi Gilbert in NY. It can be less than a kajillion dollar comedy too I guess. Bye bye!
