TBS has greenlit a new series from the comedy trio THE DRESS UP GANG, whose viral videos include the popular My Roommate, My Friend series. The Dress Up Gang's creators, Donny Divanian and Cory Loykasek are set to star in the series, with special appearances by fellow team-member and creator Robb Boardman, who will also write and direct. Dave Kneebone (Comedy Bang! Bang!, The Eric Andre Show), Tim Heidecker (Decker, Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories) and Eric Wareheim (Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule, Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories) serve as executive producers on the series, which is produced by Absolutely in association with Turner's Studio T.
TBS's new series from The Dress Up Gang is set in a surreal version of Los Angeles. Donny and Cory are roommates who look out for each other. Donny, a responsible adult with the temperament and outlook of a child, relies on guidance and life advice from Cory, the dad-like 30-something who has been crashing on his couch for quite some time. "The Dress Up Gang are experts at mining comedy gold from otherwise serious situations," said Brett Weitz, executive vice president of original programming for TBS. "This new series is another example of how TBS is stretching beyond the confines of television to bring fresh talent and unique comedic voices to our lineup." The Dress Up Gang began when two high school friends (they refuse to say which two) met another friend (it doesn't matter which one) in San Francisco. The three instantly bonded and began making the very sketches that appear on their Youtube channel. In addition to their work with The Dress Up Gang, Cory and Donny are pretty funny stand-up comedians, but that's neither here nor there.Videos
