Is That Yours Launch Party : A Success!

The premiere of "Is That Yours?" happened on March 14th at Club Café and a great time was had by all. The audience laughed a lot (usually a good sign when one is launching a comedy), and we even got a business card from an entertainment lawyer/agent. We have a meeting with her on April 1st. Wish us luck - representation would be fantastic!

Though alcohol was abundant, neither Anne nor Deb partook, choosing instead to sip herbal tea and pontificate totality of it all.

The Q&A brought to light some interesting things to consider for future episodes, and was very, very helpful. We thank all who offered their comments.

You can see pictures of the launch party here. and look for video footage coming soon!.

Anne's Mother Still Doesn't Understand.

My mother is a tax law genius. People call her from all over the country seeking her advice. She knows every loophole the system has to offer, and conveys this information to her clients with ease. The woman graduated Valedictorian and has always been the brains of the family.

Why she can't get what I do, I'll never know.

In this next scene, envision a 5' tall, 120 lb. Italian woman with the kindest disposition.

 

Ring ring.

Mom: Hello?

Me: Hey Mom, it's Annie.

Mom: Oh hi honey. How are you doing?

Me:Tired.

Mom: Why?

Me: Well, the premiere is this weekend and we have so much last minute stuff to do.

Mom: Oh, I know. Isn't it so exhausting? (pause) What premiere, honey?

Me: The premiere of our show.

Silence

Me (cont'd): You know, our show? The one we're launching this weekend?

Mom: Oh okay! (pause) What show is that, honey?

Me: Is That Yours? The comedy show we've been working on for..(looks at calendar). about a year now?

Mom: Oh! Is that the one with the dead black man on the floor?

Me: Well, that was the pilot.this is the show..

Mom: I just love that movie. Where are you showing it?

Me: No, Mom, it's not just that short film. We made several other episodes.we're creating a web series - a comedy show. Like Seinfeld?

Long pause

Mom: Would you like a pastry, dear?

 

We just mailed her a DVD. I just know after she gets it and watches it, she'll call me and say:

Mom: This is so funny, honey. You know what it's like? A television show.like Seinfeld!

 

We'll keep you posted.
