is of Finnish and Norwegian descent. When he was six, his father

his mother, and his brother subsequently lived in government housing.

His sister was not living with them at this time; she was elsewhere.

He participated in community theater and starred in high school

productions of Fiddler on the Roof, Les Misérables, and Little Shop

of Horrors. After graduating from R. A. Long High School in 2005,

Escola moved to New York City to study humanities at Marymount

Manhattan College, dropping out after one year. He subsequently

performed at children's birthday parties and worked at the Scholastic

bookstore.From 2008 to 2012, Escola was a perennial guest performer in

the Our Hit Parade cabaret series, and later began performing monthly

solo shows at the Duplex Cabaret Theatre. He appeared in Scott

Wittman's 2012 cabaret show Jukebox Jackie at La MaMa and played an

unborn fetus in Bridget Everett's 2014 cabaret show Rock Bottom at

Joe's Pub. On June 14, 2017, Escola's hourlong solo show Help! I'm

Stuck premiered at Joe's Pub, where it has since played numerous

sold-out engagements.Escola has a collection of 38 wigs, which he

stores under his bed in 7-Eleven doughnut boxes. His wigs often shape

and inform his recurring stage characters, which include Broadway

legend Bernadette Peters, suicidal homemaker Joyce Conner, scheming

furniture heiress Jennifer Convertibles, and The Goblin Commuter of

Hoboken. When asked about his penchant for playing female characters,

Escola responded, "Nobody asks Annette Bening why she's drawn to

female characters. Why the double standard? I'm a character actress

trapped in the body of a teenage boy."
