About the Project
I grew up in a Polygamist CULT. (*BEAT) Anyone else? Anyone?
Polygamy is the practice of having more than one husband or one wife. Cool. No, wait that is wrong. Polygamy is the practice of having more than one wife. Yes. That’s right. Wrong. (BEAT) Right? (BEAT)
Cults are really awesome. Unless you’re not the leader.
Kids in the cult weren’t allowed normal things (BEAT) like toys or holidays…the cult was all about achievement. I found out that as a kid, I was living in one of the world’s largest child ritualistic sex rings in the history of the United States at the time. Me. A world record holder.
Yeah, that part of my childhood was CRAZY! But not like Manson’s family crazy, not “Hey we murdered Sharon Tate” kind of crazy. (*BEAT) The only thing the cult killed was… our dreams…..
Years later I obviously made “my dreams” come true, I did what any normal person would do, I packed up my car in the middle of an all-night drug binge and moved to Hollywood to be a star who wanted to see my name in lights. And I saw lights.
I did some research on my past looking for “some hilarious trauma” (BEAT) to use in my comedy. I went through the normal things like old childhood diaries, photo albums, and (BEAT) FBI files. Then I thought to myself “Hey I should do Fringe Festival”.
Someone said, “Tragedy plus time equals comedy.” —-But then again -(BEAT) I’ve never been good at math. Or thinking. I wasn’t used to really thinking. (BEAT) I had people for that. MEN, obviously.
