FACTS ABOUT TOPHER LIN

• I write, perform, direct, and produce theatre, film, comedy, and music.

• As a writer/performer/director, I work primarily with the San Francisco Neo-Futurists, where I was also Co-Artistic Director 2019–2025. We perform our critically-acclaimed flagship show The Infinite Wrench every Friday & Saturday. The SF Chronicle calls us one of “22 San Francisco things everyone should do.” I like writing satire that’s clear-eyed and critical of our cultural foibles, but maintains a hopeful outlook grounded in kindness and collective power.

• I make music with web presence (we have none). Email me to hear our music; marketing is hard when you have no web presence. 😢

• I’m working on a new venue and presentation company for indie theatre in SF.

• Sometimes I work in political tech and indie film production.
