Meet Bert James & Lillith Fallon


They are the dynamic duo behind the first of its kind series, "Lillith & Bert Go to Lunch." Both from the South, they met in acting class in New York City, where they shared a common frustration - the lack of opportunities to showcase their talents in the projects they longed to be a part of.


Bert & Lillith embarked on a creative journey that birthed "Lillith & Bert Go Nowhere."

The innovative series delivers bite-sized comedic vignettes, each packing the punch of a full-length sitcom.

With individual shorts clocking in at a brisk 2 minutes, and the full episode at 18 minutes, viewers are treated to a quick dose of laughter and charm, courtesy of Bert and Lillith's unbeatable comedic chemistry that is reminiscent of a modern day Burns & Allen, Lucy & Ethel or Romy & Michelle with a touch Ren & Stimpy.


However, "Lillith & Bert Go to Lunch" is more than just entertainment, it's also a force in representation.

As a show written, produced, and created by Bert & Lillith, and featuring the types of characters and performers we don’t necessarily see on TV every day, it fills a crucial gap in the entertainment industry.


With their unique blend of humor, authenticity, quirkiness and charm, Bert James & Lillith Fallon are poised to make a lasting impact on the world of entertainment. Get ready to join them on their riotous journey to…Lunch!

Alon Elian

In order to understand who Alon Elian is, we must first understand who he is not. He is not Grammy Award-winning songwriter Peter Gabriel. He is not Obama. End of list. Alon does not remember when he met Lillith, but he really likes her a lot and thinks she's very talented. He also has not met Bert at the time of this writing (although he has heard great things). Alon does stand up and sketch comedy in NYC, and he's really excited to be working on this project. He also loves you.
