Career
Fowlie appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Joe Schmo Show, and online shorts by CollegeHumor and Nacho Punch. He appeared on HBO's The Comeback in 2014, and is a participant in the CBS Diversity Showcase.
Fowlie began performing with The Groundlings around 2012, later teaching improv with the troupe. Starting in June 2014 he began performing Go-Go Boy Interrupted, an LGBT-themed sketch comedy show, at The Groundlings theater. A few months later he adapted the show into a web series first shown on YouTube in October 2014. It chronicles the adventures of Danny Carter, a 30-year-old "washed up" male go-go dancer, based on Fowlie's own experiences as a go-go dancer in West Hollywood while attending the University of Southern California. The live version of Go-Go Boy Interrupted continued in 2015.
Fowlie also co-wrote and performed the one-woman Off-Broadway show So Long Boulder City, based on the fictional show created by Emma Stone's character Mia Dolan in the 2016 film La La Land. Co-written and directed by Jordan Black, So Long Boulder City was performed in Los Angeles before its six-month run at the SubCulture Off-Broadway theater in New York City.
He is a contributor to The Huffington Post.
Fowlie was hired as a writer for Saturday Night Live in 2022, at the beginning of the show's 48th season.
