Michael Breslin is Pulitzer finalist and Obie-winning writer, director, and performer.

His new musical The Last Bimbo of the Apocalypse was described by Ben Brantley as “the best musical to date about living online.” In her Critic’s Pick review in the New York Times, Rhoda Feng praised Breslin’s songs as “catchy as hell,” with “the tingle of soda pop reaching a tender spot at the back of your throat,” and celebrated the show’s “exuberant intelligence.”

He is a creative director of Fake Friends, a theater and media company who developed and produced the acclaimed internet shows Circle Jerk and This American Wife. He executive produced and co-wrote the book to Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical, which raised $1.9 million for the Actors Fund.

Current projects include:

• Writing The Wives with Patrick Foley for Apple and A24, starring and produced by Jennifer Lawrence, produced by Excellent Cadaver, Jeremy O. Harris, and Josh Godfrey

• Directing Invasive Species by Maia Novi at the King’s Head Theater in London, performances in September 2025.

• Writing and directing Bikini in collab with Cat Rodríguez, based on female bikini bodybuilding competitions in his homestate, New Jersey
