THE FRANCO & BILLY SHOW: Diamonds of Fire
Diamonds of Fire - the new live comedy show from entertainment duo, Franco & Billy, sets diamonds on fire by igniting the most terrifying mélange of sketch, film and musical performance this side of the Mekong.
Written, directed by and starring Peter Blomquist and Jeff Wiens
"It’s endearing somehow to watch this sort of sophomorically funny material done without the winking condescension it usually receives.â€
- NY Times
"Think “Mr. Showâ€, only creepier, more manic and possibly certifiable."
-The Hollywood Reporter
"The parallels between The Franco and Billy Show and Monty Python are undeniable. They are both sometimes surreal, sometimes historical, and sometimes completely incomprehensible. They toss film clips, music and sketch comedy into a single puke-colored but delicious stew."
