Ed Smyth

Ed Smyth impudently ignores the sensible rules of comedy, blending kazoo metal rock, single cell balloon animals, warped French history, Wally the Happy Talking Neutrino, confused sock puppets attempting historical moments, and “10 second theater” bits ranging from invading Martians battling incoherent mumbling earthlings to a sampling of “Jaws” re-envisioned as a Busby Berkeley musical.
