Welcome to Chortle!
If you’re reading this, you’ve just found a rare “good part” of the internet, because Chortle is here for one reason only: to make you laugh. I’m Greg Nix, founder and editor, and I publish three short humor pieces every week, including:
Essays
Comics
Lists
Commentary + Reaction
Something else I made up because I ran out of ideas.
If you like McSweeney’s, Shouts and Murmurs, or The AV Club, there’s a good chance you’ll like what I’m writing, too. Go ahead and subscribe to make sure you never miss a Chortle.
Who writes Chortle?
I write most of the pieces, by budgetary necessity and because I have a lot to say.
I also publish recurring guest posts, and so far I’ve featured work from 70+ writers across 400+ posts. Want to get paid to write for Chortle? Check out our submission guidelines.
Who’s Chortle for?
This is a place for people who love sharp comedy writing and the well-earned curse words. If you could use a break from the endless scroll and like to laugh, then you’re my kind of person.
Why I Started Chortle
I’m a longtime comedy writer and performer who has spent years in the entertainment industry, working for places like Netflix and Nickelodeon and performing onstage with the Upright Citizens Brigade in LA. I’ve seen firsthand how hard it’s become to get original ideas into the world—most especially my own. So I created Chortle to bring my comedy straight to the people.
