About

James Tabor & Kelly Coccio joined brain forces for good, not evil, to write and produce satirical comedies to distract you from everyday life. Brought to life by its 2020 namesake stage show full of talented comedians, friends & writers; Since, Kelly & James have continued to take the same wild comedy from stage to screen.

James was born in Washington, D.C., and then was moved all over the place as his family searched for the next best thing. He went to college in Rhode Island and decided to head to California and study acting at The Groundlings and The Upright Citizens Brigade. Upon settling back in Rhode Island in 2018, James joined The Bit Players in Newport for 5 years of weekly improv performances. He became the artistic director of the group in 2023 before stepping away to focus more on film.

Kelly is a born & raised Rhode Islander and her accent doesn’t help either. After graduating from URI and heading to LA with James, Kelly returned to RI where she worked her way up as a Communications Officer in state government. She preferred writing for comedy and the arts, so that’s what she ultimately decided to do. Kelly’s a well-rounded artist with backgrounds in painting, sewing, welding, performance art, music and film! Her favorite role to fill is as Production Designer. Outside of these extravaganzas she plays roller derby and loves thrifting.

Together they bring to life wild tales that could exist only in the world they have created; and that is an Are We Happy Yet Production!
