California Comic, Andrew Stanley, born and raised two blocks from Disneyland, says this about his profession
“It’s like, you know…I don’t know…know what I mean?”

| Timothy, theater technician, has a fright. The audience is early…or are they?
Although the show will be late going up, this actually is not a problem for Timothy.
In fact, it turns into a dream come true for the initially reluctant techie. He’s happy
to stall the audience as long as he has to for the “real star”, Jerry Dunkin from NYC.
Jerry, a recent recipient of the “Siberian Oscar” has wowed fans with his diversity in
such rolls as “the Idiot” in Dostoevsky’s The Idiot and “the Crook” in Mammet’s 25 Crooks a Day. |

Timothy decides to share some of his own insights with the audience while they wait.
The hilarity rolls on as he tells all, a particular gem being a story about his father, the
Jungle Boat captain at Disneyland, who also composes three-note-car-alarm songs.
