In January 2006, accomplished writers and stand-up comics Paul Bae and Charles Demers joined up to write and perform scathing, engaging sketch comedy with a cerebral twist that has had audiences on both sides of the border in stitches, and has the Georgia Straight's comedy critic lauding their "literate style." Who else has jokes about existentialism and testicles, all wrapped into one sketch?
Since then, Paul and Charlie have put audiences in stitches on both sides of the border, on-stage and over the radio, as well as participating in several high-profile festivals and sold-out shows. They have received outstanding reviews from critics and were called “the future of comedy” by Robin Williams.
