The Story

For those using a text-to-speech plug-in, here's all our STORY info again:
The Groad Show is a comedy starring Jim O'Heir (from Parks and Recreation) as a bottom-of-the-rung minion from Hell who's sent to Earth to ruin someone's wonderful life! Yes, another feel-good story ... for Hell minions!
There'll be lots of laughs -- but also lots of weird as Groad manages to get himself banished from Hell and will have to try to live life on Earth as a human!
And while Groad's going on this journey to fit in on Earth, Heaven and Hell will be engaging in an epic match for control of the planet! No biggie!
We did TABLE READS of the first two episodes over Zoom during quarantine. You can get a good idea about the show and humor from watching them at the links below (or watch directly from the media page).
TABLE READ 1
TABLE READ 2
But now we want to film the show for real, as a Web Series, which will allow us to showcase so much more physical and visual humor, and expand the Heaven and Hell storylines out even more... And with your help, we can do that!!
Thanks so much!!
