“Our creative process is late night writing sessions that are scattered, smothered and covered at the Waffle House.”

Atlanta’s home…and it’s the Best!

Our shared experience with Barry Manilow and nuns.

5. What have you learned from working on your show so far?
There’s a patron saint for everything.
6. Tyler Perry, Jane Fonda, Killer Mike and NeNe Leakes roll up at your show. There is one ticket left. Who gets it?
Tyler Perry, but only if he comes as Medea.
7. Atlanta’s foodie scene is really on point these days. What does your show taste like? (Bonus points if you can name-check an ATL restaurant.)
DUH. See #4, but add chunked and peppered to the list.
8. Fringes are the place to really push the boundaries so we gotta ask: would you want your parents in the front row or would you tell them, “Maybe skip this one, guys…”?
They’re helicopter parents, so front row, but with ear plugs and eye covers.
9. Will your show save mankind?
No, but it might get you a free cup of coffee if you mention us at the Waffle House.
10. Oh boy! A mysterious benefactor gave you a million dollars after your first show! What do you do?
DUH. See #4. Buy a Waffle House.
Your editor took this picture while stuck in traffic.
11. Describe your show in three words.
Sassy. Sassy. Sassy.
