Even before it was officially announced that Nick Kroll and John Mulaney's wildly popular alter egos Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland would be making their Broadway debuts in Oh, Hello, ON BROADWAY, the crusty characters were bragging about their worthy stage chops while appearing on Comedy Bang! Bang!

"We're taking down HAMILTON," declares Faizon, seemingly not aware of the traditional atmosphere of support within the Broadway community.

St. Geegland adds, "We like to joke that we're Lin-Manuel Carrie Bradshaw and he's such a Lin-Manuel Miranda."

Oh, Hello on BROADWAY begins previewing at The Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street) on September 23 with opening night set for October 10. The show will run through January 8 2017. Alex Timbers directs.

OH, HELLO on BROADWAY is the Broadway premiere of two of the two hottest voices in comedy today, Nick Kroll (Comedy Central's "Kroll Show") and John Mulaney (Netflix's "The Comeback Kid").

Respectively, the duo star as Gil Faizon and George St. Geegland - outrageously opinionated, 70-something, native New Yorkers that Kroll and Mulaney first began performing on the alternative comedy stages in NYC. Honed for over a decade, the fictional duo garnered a cult following and found their way onto a Comedy Central special, viral videos and late night couches everywhere. Oh, Hello on BROADWAY is Gil and George's "memoir for the stage" - a laugh-a-minute two-man tour-de-force that's part scripted, part spontaneous comedy, and totally unprecedented.

St. Geegland and Faizon have spent their entire lives second-acting Broadway shows and could not be more thrilled to make their Broadway bows. When reached for comment, George said, "This is the furthest dun'town we have been in years and we are not happy about it." Gil added, "I'm terrified. I have to go to the bathroom."
