NYC comedian on duty in viral ‘Roommate Court,’ settling feuds citywide — from throuple conflicts to pet owner disputes

Here comes the judge.
Michael Abber may be new to the Big Apple, but there’s one thing the West Coast native figured out right away — living in such close proximity can take its toll on a New Yorker’s nerves, and living with roommates even more so.
Now, the clever comedian is doing something to make life easier for his fellow citizens — solving spats between clashing cohabitants on the smash-hit social media show, “Roommate Court.”
“A lot of people living together in New York City, God bless them, do not have enough space to get along. That’s a luxury,” Abber, 27, told The Post.
Of course, his court is not a real one. And Abber is not a literal judge — although the jokester tells The Post he did take the practice LSATs, and was awarded “MVP” status in a high school mock trial thanks to his over-the-top theatrics.
Instead, his new series, from Gymnasium, a short-form video production company, sees the wannabe Wapner hand down his rulings over kooky, yet contentious disputes in less than three minutes.
