Who wants a Panda Sandwich?

As chances of getting off the Fringe Festival waitlist grew slimmer and slimmer, Rachel and Ben began to forge their own path, in conjunction with their compatriots Adam and Bethany from Box Wine Theater.
Together, Questionable Company and Box Wine will present a double-header extravaganza at Bedlam just before Fringe featuring “WTF in the Garden of Eden” and the inaugural performance of a new sketch comedy group (created by the stalwart Ben and Rachel) Panda Sandwich!

PANDA SANDWICH – THICK AND JUICY COMEDY
The Panda Sandwich Manifesto:
Panda Sandwich is a new sketch comedy group devoted to creating well-written, well-structured comedy with a group of awesome people. We’re looking for willing collaborators and good listeners who aren’t afraid to try new ideas and explore our collective ridiculousity.
-We believe that sketches are better when group-written.
-We like work that is witty and clever without being egotistical or self-important.
-We believe that a sketch is more than just a good idea, it needs to go somewhere.
-We love comedy that is loud, crass, dirty, vulgar, and ridiculous, but not just for the sake of being loud, crass, dirty, vulgar, and/or ridiculous. No shock without substance.
-We like comedy that is well-structured and surprising. Surprise us. Or else.
-And above all, comedy should be fun to make and fun to watch.
Panda Sandwich: Put us in your mouth.
