David Jacobson

Just like you, writer/performer David Jacobson is home to 40 trillion bacteria that collectively weigh as much as his brain.
 
Before David and his microbiome became solo theater performers and creators of Dog's Misery Swamp (and their prior play, Theme Park) they worked as a newspaper feature writer at the Detroit News and Hartford Courant.
 
Jacobson and his microscopic sidekicks also wrote loads of satire for major magazines, plus a book of excuses. They once labored for six months on a world history of finger snapping - so they understand hopeless obsessives pretty well.
 
More recently, David and his symbiotic co-stars served as the editorial director at a leading school of pharmacy, where the emerging science of the human microbiota and its effects on health and psychology made them far more aware of each other.
 
Obviously (well, it makes more sense once you've seen the show), Dog's Misery Swamp draws on all phases of Jacobson & company's career - as well as on stories about love, war, dung beetles, Helen Keller, and the incredible world of microbiology, a realm that routinely shapes each of us and just might save our world from humanity's eco-oafishness.
