If life is like a box of chocolates, then these three would be coconuts! Throw them away! In a world where laughter is the best medicine, three brave men dare to shoot you up. Three of Strangedog's most trusted actors take to the pen as well as the stage to bring to life the inspirational insanity that lives in the darkest parts of their brains. That's right. From the damaged, addled minds of StrangeDog's Scott Cagney, Joey Drechsel and Brian Parks we bring you an evening that's part improv, part sketch comedy, part unexpected, and all nonsense.
Written by, Directed and Starring Scott Cagney, Joseph Drechsel and Brian Parks. April 13 at 8pm, April 14 at 9pm at Tierney's.
