Meet these ladies next week!
OH my god, oh my god! We have been super busy! We wrote one pilot script for an all original surreal sketch comedy show called i.e.T.V. and submitted it to one NYTVF competition. And then... We wrote a completely different script and shot that pilot for another NYTVF competition! This one is called We're Not Here, and it's a kid's show for adults. We're so happy with how it's all turning out. We had amazing help from many friends and neighbors and are still editing the final touches on the masterpiece. We'll have a showing as soon as we can.
But in the meantime! We're introducing the characters of WE'RE NOT HERE live and in person at the Empire City Comedy Festival at The Tank.
Meet our latest creations, Bernie & Fontaine: We are two ageless, bohemian ladies secretly living in your parents hallway closet. Come on some adventures with us and learn a thing or two! But remember- as far as your parents know, We're Not Here- so mum's the word, you dig?
So, come check us out! Here's all the details. Spread the word!

Where: The Tank - 151 West 46th St. 8th Floor (bet 6th/7th aves)

We're back in a New York way!
We are back safe and sound from Canada. We had an amazing run in The Toronto and Edmonton Fringe Festivals and are so happy to be back in NYC, performing Channel One in Brooklyn this September.
All together, we were gone for 45 days, rode a bus for 1000 miles, drove 6500 miles, traveled through 2 countries, 12 states, 3 provinces, 5 national parks, 2 floods & one million butterflies. We saw the Amish playing volleyball in a field, bison & deer roaming the earth, glaciers, mountains & hot springs. We handed out 10,000 flyers, put up 150 posters and played Channel One to over 800 adoring fans.
Check out our constantly updating photo blog of our time gone: jamesandjf.tumblr.com
And Canada seemed to like us:
"My God, they're funny" (VUE)
"it's f***ing hilarious... Kind of like actual TV. Only better." (Blog of Jenna Rocca)
"sometimes funny, sometimes raunchy, always awkward" (Edmonton Journal)
"it's a blast of exuberant nonsense... brave new theater" (Edmonton Sun).
And now the show is ready for you NYC!

Awesome Review in TORONTO!!!!!
Check this out! This angel wrote an amazing review of our show in Toronto.
Here's a taste to get you going, but read the whole thing! Seriously:
“I don't think I can convey the magnitude of their success without putting it so plainly as: it's f***ing hilarious. … Their character-based programming is both satirical and irreverent, with an extra splash of zany. ... Their three-dimensional characterizations have specificity down to the minutest nuance. Their extensive training in clown is more than merely apparent.”
