PICNICS AT THE ASYLUM Written & Performed by Angela Neff Angela Neff tells us what it is like to grow up in a large catholic family with a father, who goes from being the funniest Dad in Silicon Valley, to the funniest street person on San Jose’s Skid Row. Hilarious, outlandish and poignant, Picnics at the Asylum takes us on a journey full of fireworks, psychedelic sunglasses, and rockin' church services as Angela examines the relationship of madness and love. buy tix

LYDIA'S FUNERAL ViDEO Written & Performed by Samantha Chanse "Spiked with surreal celebrity trash-culture references, sardonic moral relativity, and Chanse's biting wit, LFV celebrates irreverent political incorrectness and the societal gray areas in all of us." -- Connie Hwong, Flavorpill The darkly comedic tale of an apocalypse-obsessed bank clerk whose dreams are suddenly invaded by a mysterious being claiming to be her newly-conceived embryo. In a not-so-distant future when abortions are legal only within 28 days of conception, Lydia has four weeks to shoot a video, do some standup comedy, and terminate a pregnancy. Holy sh*t. buy tix
