By John C. Alsedek:
Boy, this was fun. It was a concept I’d thought of back in 2010 for a different series—basically Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie from The Dick Van Dyke Show kidnapped by aliens. I never did anything with it then but reworked it for this episode as a loving sendup of Catskills comics. This episode is also notable (though not necessarily for a good reason!) as my first real role. Normally if you hear me in an episode, it’s because an actor was unavailable. But this one I actually chose to do!
Episode 6: "Gag Reflex"
Stars: Daamen Krall, Elizabeth Gracen, and John C. Alsedek
A pair of Borscht Belt comics find themselves kidnapped by extraterrestrials and forced into competition in an arena. At stake: their lives—and those of the entire human race.
