Elephant Larry, New York's critically-acclaimed sketch comedy group, is proud to announce the premiere of their all-new sketch comedy show, "Elephant Larry Presents The Dump," which will run for three performances ONLY. The show will run Saturdays at 7:00 PM: December 6, 13, 20; at The PIT, 154 W. 29th Street (between 6th and 7th Avenues).
This set of all-new sketches takes place in the most magical, beautiful place in the world: a garbage dump.
The New York Times called Elephant Larry "A hilarious multimedia mix of the deadpan and the maniacal. The sketches call to mind, variously, Monty Python, Kids in the Hall and Second City, yet they don't feel like knockoffs"; They have been
New York Magazine's #1 Late-Nite Pick, and
NYTheatre.com said, "How is it that every sketch is funny? One of the best shows you'll see in the city!"
