The team of “Klepper & Grey” co-created and co-starred in the UCB Comedy-produced pilot presentation “Engaged,” which was recently featured at the New York Television Festival.

The duo also wrote and starred in the short film “TMI,” which was a featured short at Slamdance in 2012, and their newest short, “Peepers,” will premiere this month at SXSW.
