So, my friend Betsy gave me a ring awhile back. She’s an actress who hails from the improv side of the fence, having done a great deal of work with the Upright Citizens Brigade. She had a couple of ideas for sketches, and wondered if I would direct a couple. Coming from a Python-drenched childhood (see Monty, not Anaconda), I said sure. Should be a blast.

So, we did two sketches at first, and then Betsy got a little bit more ambitious. She got in touch with the Manhattan Neighborhood Network, and slotted herself down for a series, Betsy Vs. New York. All she had to do now is make it.

So, we got together with some other actors, a writer or two, and set out on creating a sketch show. To say that this was tremendous fun is like calling Mt. Rushmore ‘Sizable.’ I am happy to say that our first show is finished and sent out.I have decided to include one of the vignettes that we did… that while not exactly ’safe’ for work, you should be alright with headphones. And to all of you joggers out there… you know what we’re talking about.

The show should air in September, so I will be sure to keep you posted.
