Back Pocket Comedy Presents: Characters on the Fringe at Hollywood Fringe Fest This Coming June!
April 9th, 2024
LA’s hottest character team, Back Pocket, puts their uniquely themed and energizing shows to the test by presenting three original productions in one month!
Each showcase will spotlight a singular motif and the subsequent personalities you’d expect to find there.
Although working in tandem to build out these satirical universes, this small rotating cast writes and performs completely original pieces so no two moments are ever the same. What ensues is a 55-minute irreverent symphony of nosy neighbors, kooky co-workers and a bizarre brood of characters you’ll be thinking about for years to come!
From the hilarious minds of Alyssa DeVries, James Jelin, Vanessa St. Clair, Mitch McMahon, Julia Germeroth, Brennan Lee, Christine Stemmer, Kenny Gray, Ana-Marija Stojic, and Eric Berey.
Directed by John Milhiser (SNL).
