The Great Difficulties aka The Greatles (Colin Mahan and Luggage Tuesdays' Mike Spiegelman)

The Greatles in The Last Satire

The Year: 19Foreventy. 

The time: The future. 

The pitch: The world has lost its sense of humor. And only one man along with another man can unchain comedy and bring back zings to the world (Colin Mahan and Mike Spiegelman of The Great Difficulties aka The Great Disappointments aka The Greatles in case it wasn’t clear). Also, in the future, everyone hates everyone else. And humanity is controlled by a pander-iffic bore-poration that profits off of stifle-shushing and other phrases we make up TBD. Words! Anyway, something along these lines. It’ll be fast-paced. The Greatles in The Last Satire. In the land without laughs, the one-lined man is king!

Marsh Studio 1062 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94110
