A wild, frenetic sketch comedy play that moves seamlessly from sketch to sketch, every joke building on the last in an unrelenting game of one-upmanship between the three performers.
Anthony Oberbeck, Matt Barats, and Carmen Christopher have been performing together for 6 years, first in Chicago and now in New York. They are all featured performers in the Annoyance Theatre's Holy Fuck Comedy Hour, and they perform a weekly improv show in Brooklyn described as "the best improv in the city".
Matt Barats was featured in the 2015 Montreal Just For Laughs New Faces showcase. Carmen Christopher was a Comedy Central Comic to Watch in 2016. Anthony Oberbeck was a featured performer in the Chicago Just For Laughs Festival in 2012 and 2013. The three have created sketch videos and pilots for IFC, Comedy Central, Above Average, and Super Deluxe.
