HISTORY
Amos Glick and Ed Holmes created their impressions of Dick Ôn Dubya as members of the SF Mime Troupe in shows such as EATING IT,
1600 TRANSYLVANIA AVENUE, MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON and VERONIQUE OF THE MOUNTIES IN: OPERATION FROZEN FREEDOM. From the
first time they played this dynamic duo requests began to come in for appearances at rallies, fundraisers and other events,
usually to say a few words and take a few questions. In October of 2004 they were invited to perform for
THE GEORGE BUSH GOING AWAY PARTY: AN EVENING OF PRE-ELECTION POLITICAL COMEDY at The Herbst Theatre with other political comics
like Greg Proops. Needing to fill two ten-minute spots they wrote what has become the opening segment of their current show.
Then they were invited to do a 45-minute set at a Fundraiser in Sebastopol. Several writing sessions later they asked Bill Allard
to come take a look at what they had and they have been honing their material ever since as a trio.
