Crash test comedy (a weekly open mic comedy show) started at a now dead bar (Broncos). The bar was split into two areas, the main bar, and the show room where we performed. The show room had a small bar but it was empty and unattended. (they probably could've opened it but I guess it wasn't busy enough for them to bother to use it, I mean they are closed now...just saying)
Anyways..
I turned to fellow comic Derek Adams and while pointing at the empty bar said "let's stand back there and pretend to be bartenders"
From there we riffed the idea of Two Bartenders. I'll give you the bullet points on it because this post is probably already jam packed with all sorts of writing errors...give me a break tho...I'm writing this on an iPhone 4! It's generations behind...I aint got no time for proper writings.
Two Bartender
-Is a sitcom poking fun at sitcoms
-we only had one joke at conception and that joke was two bartenders working at one bar
-"hey most bars have two or even more bartenders that isn't a joke"
-It's a meta idea, in this sitcom world nobody is able to wrap there head around Two Bartenders ("If I order a drink will I have to pay twice?!")
-The two bartenders are polar opposites. One is a carefree bachelor and the other is a married, very reserved,clean cut fellow
That is the gist of it. Still confused? Good! You should be! This was just the very basic idea of Two Bartenders it goes a lot deeper. Maybe one day we will make a youtube series of Two Bartenders and you can countiue to be confused at a joke that's probably only funny to Two Bartenders.
