Brandon Keener and I are currently writing a new play to follow up "Cutting Room Floor." I can't divulge too much about it now - naturally the writing process is very fluid. But I can say this: the play is set in a trailer park, or a park of trailers if you want to be formal about it.

SKETCH COMEDY -
"Cutting Room Floor": Last summer, Brandon Keener and I had a blast writing, directing and performing in "Cutting Room Floor" with a cast of 12 brilliant actors at The Improv Olympic West in Hollywood. (The actors made us say that.) The six week run was a smashing success, and we're glad to say that we're currently writing a follow up show. I spend all of my free time now bragging about it. I hate myself for that. I guess I'm just jealous. Screw me. Check out the archived site to spend more time not doing what you're supposed to be doing:

A clip from CRF: View our special Cutting Room Floor video clip parody of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross.
Written by Brandon Keener and Richard Lucas. Shot and edited by David Robertson. Starring as our "insert" is the great master thespian and jockey of discs Sir Carlton "Zapp-e-licious" Clay.

SOME REVIEWS FOR CUTTING ROOM FLOOR:

LOS ANGELES COMEDY PICK OF THE WEEK -
Combining sketch, song, and video, mock attendees of the fictitious El Camino Adult Trade and Technical Junior City College lambaste blowhard film professors and would-be college actors while performing "deleted" scenes from cinematic classics... L.A. comedy pick of the week.

I loved this show! The performances are very funny. Definitely a good time. I can't think of a better way to spend $10! - Kimberly Wynne

Every sketch was imaginative and hilarious! I laughed all night long! Stuart Paul's music combined with Brandon and Richard's parody lyrics were especially memorable. Funny, Funny, Funny! - Mark Josephs

COMPLETED (available upon request):

Screenplay: COMMUNITY ACCESS - written with Brandon Keener. Comedy. An aging man finds new meaning to life hidden in the crazy world of a cable access television station. I wonder if The Wizard of Oz was a great movie... hmm. Do you like the band America? ...Tin Man? No? Then we don't want to talk to you, Adolf.

Screenplay: FAME AND FORTUNE - written with Brandon Keener. Comedy. Two former child stars turn private detective. You read that right... It's funny, lighten up. We want Brian Dennehy so bad to read this. This one's for you, Brian! ...Tears streaming down my cheek...
