Rode Hard and Put Away Wet

Official Selection of the 2005 HBO Aspen Comedy Festival

2005 ECNY Award for BEST COMEDIC DUO

Rode Hard is about sassy white girls, pregnancy tests for the bourgeois and proletariat and trading your dignity for a diamond. It's about the benefits of prescription sleep-aids and the dangers of bread. It's about gay dads and gay kids. To sum up, it's about June and Casey. Join them as they make the transition from struggling losers into high-maintenance divas. It's sketch comedy performed by girls who aren't ugly.

Written and performed by June Raphael and Casey Wilson

Cast

GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL!

Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1450, so Bud Davenport and Doug Simon wrote a musical about him. They don't have a cast, a budget, or a producer — but they have a dream, and that might just be enough.

“One of the most clever performances in the city.” (New York Metro)

It's the “true” story of Gutenberg, his buxom wench Helvetica, and an evil Monk, hell-bent on keeping the masses illiterate.

“Gutenberg! The Musical! is ostensibly a backer’s audition to get Doug and Bud’s damaged brainchild to the Great White Way. In reality, though, it’s a savvy satire by Anthony King and Scott Brown, who send up the musical genre with … affection, scorn and wonderfully bad songs,” (Time Out New York)

Gutenberg! The Musical! celebrates the monstrous success of Bud and Doug’s idiocy. It is a tuneful, tactless triumph, with a big bleeding heart where its head should be.

Written and performed by Anthony King & Scott Brown

Musical Accompaniment & Direction by Barry Wyner

Directed by Charlie Todd
