MEN IN PAINTINGS: A Night At The Crisp Family Hall of Portraits
This show answers the age old question of what happens when your entire family dies in a hot air balloon crash leaving a bearded, agoraphobic slob and the family's most noted Dickhead to vie for the family fortune.
Join the last Crisp on Earth, David Crisp, as guided by long-suffering Crisp family employee Caretaker George McCarthy, on a journey through his family's hall of portraits. One of them will win the full Crisp estate, but really, they'll both lose.
David will meet: an Italian cigarette fetishist, a business school obsessed Octogenarian serial killer, an Internet Marketing jerk with film school aspirations, and the Fake Mustache King of the South.
