Shane "Scurvy" Spears
I always wanted to do this character as a web short filmed with a 3 camera 80's family sitcom setup with the laugh track and commercial breaks, the whole nine yards.

Read MoreA short clip from my collaboration show with the inscrutable Reverend Tommy Nugent. The black box had a Muppet theater feel to it that night for the final show.

Two comics railed into the darkness with nearly 2 hours of long form dystopian comedy. Here's a short clip from a set that was uncomfortable to do in front of my parents.

The compound known as “Bunker 3:16” has been the home of the Freedom Eagle Tax Fighter Citizens Militia since early December when hundreds entered the shelter in anticipation of the 14th Baktun, the end of the Mayan calendar.
