Anthony “Z” Zonfrelli is a neurodivergent, Harvard-educated comedy writer and performer from Somerville, MA. He peaked as a toddler, winning the Massachusetts Baby America Pageant, and has been getting older and uglier ever since. Refusing to let his neurodivergence get the best of him, Z turned to comedy writing as a way of connecting with others, writing scripts rich in heart and exemplifying his charismatic, smart, and darkly weird sense of humor.

Z’s scripts have been finalists and semi-finalists in Roadmap Writers JumpStart, Final Draft Big Break, PAGE, ScreenCraft, and Launch Pad. In 2024, he was featured on The Blacklist's annual Disability List. He is also the only back-to-back Grand Prize Winner in Harvard University’s Harvardwood Writers Competition (2023 & 2024), for which he was awarded mentorships with Jeff Schaffer [Seinfeld/Curb Your Enthusiasm/DAVE] and Chris Salvaterra [HBO], and he is a proud member of the Craft Services group run by Nicky Weinstock [Severance/Bridesmaids/Thelma] of Invention Studios.

Z is both a Harvard alum and, to his parents' chagrin, a comedian. A triple-threat, having performed standup, improv, and sketch in hundreds of live shows quite literally across the globe, he brings a unique comedic perspective and sharp writing skills. He has performed standup regularly at venues such as The Comedy Studio and ImprovBoston, been a resident cast member on house teams at ImprovBoston (Face Off, Harold Night), Union Comedy (Carmelo), and currently Nova Comedy (Main Cast), written and acted as a member of Boston's premiere sketch group "Terrible People", and written, produced, and performed two unique one-man-shows ("Zonfrelli & (no) Friends", "The Zonfrelli Hour: A 30-minute Comedy Show").

He grew up on a cranberry bog, leaving him only with his family and his imagination.

And cranberries.
