CJ Hoke

CJ is a comedy/dramedy writer focused on telling women-driven stories with heart. Her love of comedy began at an early age, watching reruns of Rocky & Bullwinkle and challenging her parents to increasingly absurd pun-offs. While she compulsively livejournaled the daily dramas of her all-girls education, it took until high school for her to write her first play (a love story between a lake monster and human camp counselor) at French-immersion summer camp, at which point she - like the lake monster - was hooked.

CJ followed her love of comedic kaiju storytelling to a development desk at Roger Corman's company, then to a different behemoth - ABC's General Hospital. Her subsequent credits include six episodes of GH, the six-part comedy play series Camp Ragnarok with Theatre Unleashed, and five episodes of Pencil Ink Film's webseries The Misselthwaite Archives, based on Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden. She has also worked as support staff on Best Foot Forward (AppleTV+), American Gigolo (Showtime/Paramount+), and, most recently, hit comedy Shrinking (AppleTV+), where she co-wrote an episode for Season 2.
