The Animal Club Write:

1. In how many sketch-comedy festivals has Animal Club performed?
Six including this one. We were in Seattle in '03, Chicago in '04 and '05, and San Francisco in '04 and '05. We were also in '03's Chris Farley Charithon in Saint Louis and Miami's '05 Improv Festival.

2. Besides sketch comedy, what do you plan to do while in NYC?
Visit friends from our alma mater (Point Park University in Pittsburgh) who moved to New York. Then, probably find a parking place and drink. Oh, maybe see a museum, too.

3. If you all crash landed in the Andes like in "Alive," who would get eaten first?
Tom 2—he's put on a few recently. Check out this website, type in Tom Troup 2 and you'll see that his Hobbit name is either Chubbs Baggins or Fosco Chubb—depending on the day. Name generators generally speak the truth in these kind of situations.

4. Besides yourself, who's the best sketch comedy group in the U.S. today?
We're huge fans of The Defiant Thomas Brothers.

5. What would you like to say to the producers of SketchFest NYC?
Thanks-a-bunches! Collectively, we're in love with Elephant Larry and Meat and have been for some time. On top of that, we're pumped as all hell to be included in such a great roster of groups and look forward to talking, rubbing, drinking, singing, dancing, fencing, chasing, throwing, bowling, sneezing, hugging, and laughing with everyone!
