<p>Friday, June 1, 2007 at 3:52PM</p>

<p>Boston's loss is L.A.'s gain! Chris and David Walsh have finally made the big move to Los Angeles via cross-country road trip. It is a task for a later date to attempt to describe their brilliance in writing, but let us be the first to predict that the AST Top 20 Poll may see a significant increase in Walsh come October. David was kind enough to answer a few questions via electronic mail:</p>

<p>How long have you been doing comedy?</p>
<p>We did stand-up separately for four years and then three years ago we found each other on Craisglist Missed Connections and teamed up.</p>

<p>What precipitated the move to Los Angeles?</p>
<p>So many things. Wanting to get better. Being around creative folks. More experience(s). The mumbo-jumbo about growing, maturing and becoming more well-rounded people. Meeting the President of Show Business. The Movies.</p>

<p>We're real homebodies and New York was too close. The desire to go home and get comfortable would be too strong. We had to put a giant land mass between us and everything we know. The comedy here is unbelievable right now. A lot of great shit. And L.A. is crazy and stimulating which seems good for creating.</p>

<p>You road-tripped to L.A., yes? Do you have any favorite stories or experiences from your journey that you'd like to share?</p>
<p>We did road trip. We've never really been anywhere so we wanted to see the country a bit. It took us two and half months to get out here. Not by design. We just got carried away. We hooked up some shows doing clubs and that was an experience. And then we travelled everywhere and basically did a tour of hostels. That was ridiculous. Fun and terrible.</p>

<p>We saw a bunch of crazy shit and got into a fair share of merrymaking. One of my favorite things was at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Before you get to Warhol's stuff, you had to go through a special exhibition called, "Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race." It was a horrifying and detailed account of eugenics in the run up to Hitler. Eventually we come to an installation with an actual door used in an insane asylum in the 1920's. People would read an explanation then look through a window in the door at a monitor that flashed images of sick and crazy people. You were supposed to be experiencing what a German doctor would (including the Weimar cabaret-inspired boner). It was sobering and awful and tragic and as soon as we were done, Chris says, "Watch this." He sneaks over and hides behind the door. So after people read the explanation, they look through the window and rather than seeing stills of crazy people, Chris would pop up with a ridiculous face and make them crazy.</p>

<p>What will you miss the most about Boston?</p>
<p>I don't know yet. Fried clams. Maybe the seasons. Local politics. Honest to goodness, Chris will miss everything.</p>

<p>If someone was going to play "Y'all ready for this?" in regards to you guys moving out here, what would "this" be, exactly? (For people who aren't familiar with your comedy.)</p>
<p>I don't know. It's hard to explain. Our comedy's a different thing and a lot of times not for the good. We write on stage and we do whatever makes us laugh and we try to catch the elusive lightning in a bottle so there's a recipe for comedy disaster right there. But if it hits - we're all rewarded?</p>

<p>We like to do many things at once - combine stand-up/sketch/characters/real-time video - usually without proper introductions. It's almost like we're performing in our living room (and some folks don't like our living room).</p>

<p>You had a weekly show in Boston. Are you considering doing the same in L.A.?</p>
<p>Definitely. It's kind of what we have to do for us to work. We like to do all kinds of stuff so we have to create our own thing to make that possible. Every week will be a different show and will involve all the creative (and not so creative) people we become friends with in Los Angeles.</p>

<p>We're looking at theaters now but we're in a strange place. We're doing the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the month of August and we have to go back to Boston to get that show ready. So we'll be back after that and the show will go up in September/October. We can't wait.</p>

<p>Are there any upcoming projects or shows that you'd like to pimp? I will force people to come to them.</p>
<p>No projects. No shows. We'll be around town getting into adventures. Chris says to watch "Big Trouble in Little China" because he'll be referencing it a lot and he wants everyone to know what he's talking about.</p>

<p>Are both of you single?</p>
<p>Comedy is our lover. She's a cruel, unforgiving creature but she'll never leave us.</p>

<p>Is there anything else you'd like to add?</p>
<p>Where all the pussy at? A woman of your experience should know that. The Apiary | Post a Comment | Share Article in Interviews Reader Comments</p>
