Along with their “professional acting training\u2122” they bring lots of commitment, big characters, and incredibly stupid jokes all wrapped up in a charming sketch comedy package. They will be tackling heavy hitting issues like business lingo and why it’s impossible to buy anything full price at the Gap all with a heavy dose of absurdist realism.
