Bottrell frequently performs in "Sit N Spin" (a popular spoken word show at the Comedy Central Stage) and was an original cast member of both the New York and L.A. companies of the long-running comedy revue, "Streep Tease: An Evening of Meryl Streep Monologues Performed by An All-Male Cast" in which he performed his acclaimed 6-minute version of the entire plot of "Out of Africa." Bottrell co-wrote the script for the 2001 Fox Searchlight release "Kingdom Come" starring Whoopi Goldberg, L.L. Cool J. and Jada Pinkett-Smith.
