TYLER MOORE

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER // WRITER // ACTOR

Tyler has been performing and writing sketch comedy ever since Jesus was a zygote. Not to be confused with Jesus, son of God Jesus. I mean, Christ that would be blasphemous and make him like…what? At least over 50? No, Jesus is a little kid that lives down the street and steals my newspapers. Tyler’s first role was as Sperm #6 in “Tales from Fallopia” followed by a nine month touring gig as “FistyPunch, the Gestating Wonder boy” and from there it has been downhill ever since. He penned his first joke “What did Dracula have for dessert? Dracula Fang Pie” at age 5 which opened to mixed reviews. Drawing critical acclaim from some (mainly his parents) but actually making one person physically throw up, Scholars now believe that was due to a pairing of bad fish and a Quaalude and not comedic content as originally thought. Some of Tyler credits include, almost getting the part of Bailey’s best friend n “Party of Five”, nearly making it to producers for the part of Check Out Boy in episode 21.0331 of Friends, and almost making it to an open call for Blade 3 but getting stuck in traffic and just deciding to say “Fuck It”.

ROB THAIN

ACTOR

Rob Thain has been part of the group since the first show, back in '66 (it was the summer, I think). Mr. Thain is a proud (another way to say broke) graduate of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, where he earned his B.F.A. in acting. After graduation, he spent 3 1/2 years in NYC, working in small-time theatres, in films, on commercials, on people's roof-tops, and in restaurants, which was his personal favorite. Rob said in a recent interview: "The cool part about acting is all the cool people I've met in the restaurant world. I served Paul Newman, Howard Stern, The entire Baldwin clan, Martin Gore, and even Patrick Swayze, who changed my life in "Red Dawn." The greatest part about making people laugh is when you look out over an audience and everyone is laughing. For without laughter, there is no sadness, think about it." LUV~!
