Three rats in a dumpster share the same dream: to open for Ricky Gervais on his World Tour! These rats begin as friends, but how will they end? May the best rat win!

This musical -- brought to you by three folks who have never before written or performed in a musical, and only one who has -- tells a tale as old as time.

Steph Cook is a Brooklyn-based comedian and writer who hosts the standup and character show Braindead and is a cast member of sketch mashup show TV Dinner (formerly Holy Fuck). She appears on Stephen Colbert Presents Tooning Out The News as Charlotte Fitzgerald and she was the host of the podcast Actually Very Good with Steph Cook. In Chicago she founded the sketch collective Kill All Comedy with whom she produced 2 albums, some video mixtapes, embarked on a West Coast Tour, and performed in Just For Laughs. You can find her on social media @stststephcook

Meaghan Strickland is a standup comedian who just moved to LA from NYC (Chicago before that!). Meaghan is the host of The Highlights Comedy Show and A Late Night Show that is Also Live. You can follow her on twitter @meaghanstrick (no pressure) or on instagram @stricklygram (pressure). She is so pumped to be a part of the Forget About Spaghetti Festival.

Jeff Murdoch is an LA comedian via the Chicago comedy scene. It was there in Chicago he trained at and performed at the Annoyance, iO, and the Second City Mainstage. When not on stage you can see him make videos with his comedy partner Jo Scott on Seriously Unprepared. Check him out at jmurdoink on all social media!

Brian Heveron-Smith is a music director, composer, and comedian currently based in Los Angeles. He tours and co-writes songs with comedian Chris Fleming and he arranges music for former Lumineers cellist & singer, Neyla Pekarek. Brian has helped create hundreds of improvised musicals while accompanying musical improv groups such as Baby Wants Candy. Brian co-created and co-hosts (with Meaghan Strickland) the podcast Good Sports, a show that attempts (unsuccessfully) to combine the interests of theater nerds, band geeks, athletes, and sports fans (Go Bills).

This show is part of The Elysian's FORGET ABOUT SPAGHETTI FESTIVAL from October 20th to 30th.
