Fatherly Advice
Recently there was an article about the Catholic Church's response to Rick Santorum and New Gingrich's (both confirmed practicing Catholics) statements and stand on the poor. The church asked that both candidates change their stance since it goes against the core tenets of the Catholic faith. I wrote a sketch for 4 people that demonstrates what happened in that meeting of the heads of the Catholic Church.
Pastoral Qualities
This is a full cast scene with a pastor leading a talk back portion of a service and his choir echoing his sentiments. However the choir begins to reveal some dark secrets about the pastor and ultimately leads him to cut his homily short.
Something Borrowed B.O.
With the California ruling of Prop 8 being overturned, I thought it would be fun to see what the conversation between a mother and her gay son would look like. This 2 person blackout explores this topic.
Mutual of Omaha's Unemployed America
You know when you're sitting up late in your parents' basement, contemplating eating that taco bell you've foolishly bought? You get that feeling you're being watched. Well this scene shows that your parents are documenting your failure minute by minute. How will their experiment turn out? Find out in this 3 person scene.
Quatto? B.O.
A quick blackout that has a 2 person cast. Someone has obviously done something horrible, and her friend tries to figure it out. Something has come out of her friend's nose! WHAT IS IT?
Reboot
Where do all the movie psychos go when their franchises lose steam? Frank's bar is the place. Luckily for Frank there's been a resurgence of slasher films and he's the guy to send the killers back into the fray. Bring it on! Full Cast.

Perfect Candidate B.O.
This 2 person blackout has 2 doctors constructing the perfect candidate for a conservative president. Topical! A first for me. It goes where you expect it to go.
Grampy's Bucket List
What if your grandparent asked for your help in fulfilling their bucket list. Now what if you couldn't do so because it would be morally wrong? This 2 person sketch looks into the intricacies of the moral dilemma of the elderly. Oh and of course, extended marriages!
Good Little Pooper B.O.
Don't you hate when someone in your life still treats you like a baby? Well these two gentlemen have that problem and one is fed up! Simple, clean, blackout!
All-Father's Family
What if Odin, the All-Father, head god of Norse Mythology had to come home to a family life in Asgard? This sketch looks into that premise. His misbehaving children, his doting wife, and his inability to even take one bite of dinner. Follow their zany antics as they try to co-exist in the hall of heaven!
Invisible Ulterior Motives
This one came out of watching the "Lumberjack Sketch" by Monty Python. In this scene, the Invisible Man has to say goodbye to his faithful fiance. However he is not all he seems. The button joke for the end is extended a bit as I riff on the Lumberjack Sketch a bit.

Bear-ied Memories
I guess I have a weird relationship with my stuffed animals. This is a 2 person scene which runs on the premise, what if your stuffed animals were real and could describe their feelings to you. How depraved would they be? Find out!
Predestined Comeuppance
This 2 person scene starts out like any encounter you might have on a Chicago street corner. Homeless woman stops you and asks if you're the chosen one, you say you're not, she asks for your information, you are chosen! I write what I know, and the world's fate apparently is only known by hoarse homeless women!
Teacher's Pet Blackout
When a person asks you to tell a story you're not comfortable telling, what do you do? What if this person is your teacher? Little Stephan finds out when show and tell goes horribly wrong!
SAD2012 continues in the wake of Susan G. Komen Foundations wonderful move to pull funding from Planned Parenthood, which helps to give free cancer screenings to women. As we all know, the Komen Foundation is one of the leading advocates of Breast, Ovarian, and other wonderful cancers!
Hooray!!
