“I ruined MAD Magazine and I’ll ruin you.”
-Allie Goertz, Former MAD Magazine Editor
Hi, I’m Allie Goertz
I’m a TV writer, musician, and podcast host most notable for resembling Lisa Loeb.
You may know me as the musical artist formerly known as Cossbysweater, the former editor at MAD Magazine, or the subject of the Nerf Herder song “Allie Goertz”.
I am currently working on a Nine Inch Nails cover album. (Thanks to everyone who helped me reach 426% of my Kickstarter goal!)
