There's a Run in My Ozone Layer

The Comedy Pigs' original sketch show, "There's A Run In My Ozone Layer" opens this weekend! Coming off the success of their wacky original Christmas show "Wreck The Halls", this fast paced romp features classic Comedy Pig humor. Lampooning the hottest topic of the day, The Comedy Pigs take an irreverent look at the Green Movement through their crazy characters, songs and improv comedy. Enjoy the rehearsal photos!

The Pigs began working on "Ozone" in April. First, they tossed around theme ideas then sat down to write sketches over the next two months. Finally, when everyone's work was submitted, a script was compiled,and rehearsals began in June.

Working from a script of their own material allowed the Pigs to be loose and play around with their characters and dialogue during rehearsals, tweaking the funny and making new discoveries with each run-thru.
