THE ETERNAL PYRAMID by Michael Hughes
Starring Mike McLendon (St. Peter), Matt Moore (Dick Clark), Tillery Johnson (Matthew McConaughey) and Phillip Wilburn (Ed McMahon)
Directed by Kristina Adelmeyer
Let’s say you run a comedy show based on the news. Right after you read all the sketches submitted for the week and you’re putting together a running order, you learn about a huge tragedy striking. It’s a big story – you can’t ignore it. But you have to be funny without being disrespectful. What do you do?
If you’re me, and you’re trying to address the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, you ask your friends Matt Blitz and Phillip Wilburn to help write a sketch that uses the event to make fun of celebrities who are deserving of the ridicule. All in all, it turned out pretty well.
HERE TO HELP by Michael Hughes, Matt Blitz and Phillip Wilburn
Starring Christopher Biewer (Matt), Kipleigh Brown (Caroline), Brent Pope (Larry), Deanna Russo (Lindsay Lohan), Sean Cowhig (Christian Bale), Tommy Bechtold (Ricky Gervais) and Phillip Wilburn (Charlie Sheen)
Directed by Michael Hughes
