Jack loved theatre…until he sold tickets for it. A mild-mannered young man with a BFA in acting and no life skills, he took a job at a box office because it didn't involve lifting, blazers or Excel. Thousands of customers later, Jack finds himself less mild-mannered than ever before. He attempts to manage his anger, but, like all caged animals, he is going to start throwing things at passersby sooner or later. Service with a smirk is all you can ask for. Read More

Each episode introduces a new screwed-up character who is thrust into a comedic Hero's Journey. He must battle his own flaws and inner demons while blundering through a surreal, sketch comedy universe. Read More
