Read more about them. Study their history. Then approach them after a live show and pretend you know them. This will freak them out and make them uncomfortable. They love that.

The Big Wigs

Robyn Tenenbaum Co-creator/Executive Producer

Robyn hung up her acting career at the age of 12 after she brought down the house with her role as Fruma Sara’s understudy in Fiddler on the Roof. As a grownup she moved behind the scenes, working backstage for Bill Graham Presents on big festivals and ticketing for groups ranging from The Rolling Stones to HH Dalai Lama. Longing for the riches of Public Radio, she became the producer of West Coast Live, a national weekly live radio show. After four years, she lost all concept of reality, fell in love, got swept away to Portland, and gave birth to a boy, a girl and a radio variety show.

When not appearing in “acclaimed” sketch groups he’s appeared in television shows, commercials and plays. He has a series of ex-girlfriends who have indicated the areas he should work on personally, and is confident that they are only partially right.
