A poison pen letter to the tribute show, this parody of self-importance, uses the self-tribute framework to make for a fun evening with the fictitious British comedy team, Dave and Tom. Dave and Tom's: A Tribute to Dave and Tom is made all the more silly by the fact that they claim to have passed away long ago, before the tribute show they are performing has even premiered. Time and your hair will stand on end when these two fictitious blokes salute their departed selves well in advance of their actual demise. As Dave said, or perhaps it was Tom “Who better to pay tribute to the comedy team, Dave and Tom, who were unappreciated in their time-- or indeed anytime-- than writer/performers Dave and Tom?” Even in death, they are angling for praise. |

Written and directed by David
Beeler and Tom Konkle, best known to local audiences
for their collaborations in the seminal British comedy revues,
Beyond the Fringe and Good Evening and the World
Premier of Owl-stretching Time, original sketches by
Monty Python (2001) as well as their original tribute to the dry
wit and comic ‘stylings’ of Cook and Moore, Good Night,
sixty minutes of solid comedy which premiered to critical
acclaim at Santa Monica Playhouse in 2003. Dave and Tom have
just finished executive producing a feature length sketch film
with their renowned comedy troupe, Lester McFwap, for Comedy
Express, a new National Comedy Network and subsidiary of
National Lampoon. Production Stage Manager George J. Vennes III, the man behind the scenes on all of Dave and Tom’s shows at the Playhouse, will be hosting a nightly wake and is glad to see them go…again. |
