"Working for Laughs: A chat with members of sketch comedy group Killing My Lobster"
By April Kilcrease
From Comet Magazine. Originally published from Comet, 2003. (c)2003, All rights reserved.
From their first tiny show in front of an audience of siblings and housemates (or as they tell it, Daniel's sisters and their boyfriends), Killing My Lobster has come to attract the attentions of an entire city in need of a good laugh.
Voted "Best Laugh Factory" by the San Francisco Bay Gaurdian and winner of the "Best of the Fringe Award" at the 1998 and 1999 San Francisco Fringe Festivals, Killing My Lobster has been duly rewarded with critical and audience praise. They've also produced more than a dozen award-winning short films, wich have screed at Sundance and the San Francisco International Film Festival, where they received a Golden Spire Award.
But this as been no easy laugh to get. Willing to sacrifice time, sleep, and even their clothes if it means getting the sketch right, these Lobsters have earned it.
