 A collaboration from John Leo (Peg-ass-us, tinyDANGEROUSfun!, Number's Up!) and Jay Dunn (Chicken, Flesh&Blood&Fish&Fowl), two slightly perverted but naively well-intentioned mutes drag each other through life with only each other's mischievous cruelty to keep them warm. With voyeuristic vaudeville bits and surrealist non sequitors, John and Jay marry Beckett's existential bleakness, the Marquis de Sade's power-games and Keaton's comedic sincerity. Both epic and infinitesimal, these gentlemen comrades will laugh you out of your seat while they steal it from under you. Warning: Violence, Sexiness and Booze will be Goin' On.
