KUMQUAT: A SKETCH COMEDY EXTRAVAGANZA!

- continued from above:

"...Often bringing fresh humor from common situations, they also delve into absurdism, existentialism, and draw a lot of their humor from political and social commentary. The Feral Chihuahuas are certainly a different breed, and their mission is to be brave, smart, edgy, and most of all, funny. The material is for mature audiences: contains strong language and adult situations.

Meet The Feral Chihuahuas: Hailing from all sides of the US (okay, actually just the South) they are: Jay Becknell, Tommy Calloway, Rich Gays, Samantha Lovelace, Chris Riddle, Jessamine Stone and Elizabeth Taylor [note: YES, those are all our REAL names. Yes, even the girls. Yes, even Rich. :] What sets The Feral Chihuahuas apart from other groups is that members write and rehearse 45 minutes of new material in three days and present it every Wednesday at a small theatre in downtown Asheville. Although it may seem like a lot of work in a short time, the troupe never compromises their vision while striving to stay fresh and continuing to push themselves.
Excited about their first appearance in a theatre festival, they will be bringing back material from their weekly show, as well as brand new sketches for Stoneleaf audiences."
