John Morogiello – American Playwright

Back in the early to mid 1980’s, I did a stand-up act with Danny Vermont, who now writes for Bill Maher. Whenever we were on break from college, we would quickly write some sketches and head to the local public access cable station to record them–almost always using a stationary camera and a single take. We called the show The Walter Moran Show after opening the phone book at random and pointing to a name.

The quality of the video is awful, but–despite the obvious influence of Monty Python–some of the material still makes me smile.
