Rated 2.9 by 15 members who went.
This fall, Killing My Lobster gets derivative! The first three weeks in November the gang the press is calling "the hottest sketch comedy group in the Bay Area" (the Contra Costa Times) presents a new comedy show inspired by movie titles, ad slogans, SPAM e-mail, thrown-away letters and to-do-lists, photos picked up off the street, various other appropriated materials, and all the "found" and previously written text the world has to offer.

Killing My Lobster: Nothing Is Original is a collection of comedic vignettes for those who stop to read their junk mail and who never throw anything away. From sketches that toy with well-known source material (advertisements, magazines, plays, films, Craigslist entries, and more) to shenanigans inspired by personal man-made items left for dead in dumpsters and on sidewalks, Killing My Lobster: Nothing Is Original proves that it's not what you steal, it's how you use it!
"We live in a recyclable society," says Killing My Lobster: Nothing Is Original director and KML veteran Jon Wolanske. "Hip hop culture makes no bones about exposing samples. Publishers are forever in search of the next Harry Potter and Da Vinci Code knock-offs. With this production, we'll shine the light on our influences and on work that's been created before us, mining it for what its worth, and coming up with some new takes on some surprising source material. It'll be unlike any other KML show we've ever done, and wholly original in its unoriginality."
Killing My Lobster: Nothing Is Original features veteran Killing My Lobster performers:
Andy Alabran, Andrew Bancroft, Melanie Case, Tonya Glanz, Daniel Lee, Nick Olivero, and Shaye Troha. Music is scratched and sampled by SF's very own DJ Ross Hogg and sets and visuals are designed by indie filmmaker and psycho-video guru Ryan Junell.
