Thanks to his oddball mourners, Daddy’s funeral is running way behind schedule and it’s up to one overwhelmed undertaker to get it back on track in this world premiere farce.

Daddy Didn’t Die, Did He? is Will Matthews & Casey Christensen’s seventh show together, and their first at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. The two have been a comedy team for over twelve years, and have written and performed their sketch shows at the Comedy Central Stage, the New York International Fringe Festival, the Los Angeles Comedy Festival, the ACME Comedy Theater, iO West, and UCB. New York Magazine called them “breakthrough performers” and NewYorkTheater.com said, "They are charming actors, together and separately… their enthusiasm onstage is infectious.” Their short film Hard Sell, was named Runner-Up for Best Writing in LA’s No Budget Film Festival.

Will Matthews (writer/performer) was a series regular on MTV’s Punk’d and on Logo’s Rick & Steve, and had a recurring role on ABC’s The Middle. With his writing partner, Jeffrey Addiss, he is currently developing features with Paramount Pictures and Overbrook Entertainment, and recently wrote a half-hour pilot for FX.

Casey Christensen (writer/performer) has appeared on Chelsea Lately and was part of the third cast of the Off-Broadway hit The Donkey Show in New York. She co-wrote and co-starred in the short film Skate Great! and recently made her directorial debut with the short film Hard Sell, in which she starred, co-wrote & co-produced with Will.

Jeffrey Addiss (director) most recently directed and co-starred in the webseries, The Majestic. His acting work includes over two dozen national commercials, Light Years (with Allison Janney), and the world premiere of David Mamet’s Two Unrelated Plays (with Ed O’Neil and Michael Cassidy) at the Center Theater Group.
