BriTANicK at Le Petit Theatre

Comedy duo Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher, collectively known as BriTANicK, grace the Le Petit Theatre stage for two performances only on November 2nd and 3rd. Local sketch comedy act What Now? will open.

Brian and Nick have been nominated for an Emmy Award and named in Variety’s Top 10 Comics to Watch. Together they have written for “Saturday Night Live,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” and a bunch of other shows that you’ve never heard of. This two-person sketch show is a hyper-paced, meticulously crafted, manic whirlwind of joy and chaos. BriTANicK blends comedy influences from classic vaudeville, witty wordplay, absurdism, and meta-deconstruction; expect to be enveloped by fast-paced choreography and head-scratching absurdity.

The opening sketch comedy act What Now? features Julia DeLois and Emily Slazer. DeLois (Reductress, The Air Sex Championships) and Slazer (Edinburgh Improv Festival, San Francisco Sketchfest) are the comic minds behind the hit New Orleans sketch show What Now? that audiences have compared to “being at the funnest sleepover ever with all your best friends.” The comedy duo has performed for sold-out houses all over the New Orleans area with their unique brand of comedy, celebrating the darkness, the dysfunction, and the mania in all of us.
