Sketch Comedy

[mburbank]

I was in a pro Skecth comedy troupe in Boston in the late eighties, "The Other White Meat". Several folks at I-mock saw one of our reunion shows in NYC about two years ago.



Why do you ask?



Jix, do you write for a troupe? That's how I started. I couldn't get into one of the established comedy troupes at Emerson because my acting style was too over the top, but Emerson Comedy Worshop (Jay Leno's old troupe) took some of my writting. This is pathetic (Dave Cross's old Troupe) were too cool and coked up to talk to me most of the time, though John Ennis was really nice to me and tried to get me in (and tried to get David to sit down and write with me, but he never would and thought it was hysterical to pretend he'd never met me each time he met me unless he wasn't pretending which is sad because I might have some money now if things had worked out differently) .

I ended up forming my own troupe with people who split off of both groups for one reason or another AND THE REST IS HISTORY!!!
