Cool Your J[New York City]
"Cool Your J", is Nick Ross' one-man sketch comedy show that was written for the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NYC. It has been playing to sold out audiences for over a year and recently toured to UCB LA for an industry showcase.
"Nick Ross embodies a dizzying array of idiosyncratic, fully realized characters, each radically different from the last, but all sharing a certain desperation, a blistering need to Cool Their J's." - UCB Website

Take Me, Seriously[New York City]
In Take Me. Seriously., Katie Schorr gets inside the heads and hearts of four 17-year old girls who all want one thing: they want to be taken. Seriously.
Hardened BBC journalist, Sarah Matters, secretly documents the lives of several sexually aggressive almost-legals in a show about Martin Scorsese, sex, cheerleading, dry-cleaning, lesbians, lateral lisps, Herman's Hermits, and, um, sex.

Lounge-asaurus Rex[Minneapolis]
Lounge-asaurus Rex is an improvised lounge singer act. Lounge-asaurus Rex, the character, is a smarmy egomaniacal crooner. His show consists of working the crowd with witty banter and improvised songs based on information gained from the audience. It's a classic lounge act with an exaggerated character and more interactivity.
