Original and satirical sketches and videos blend together seamlessly, to create an evening of uproarious laughter and unforgettable characters in the show the Buzz, PEI's Arts & Entertainment magazine, called "..as memorable and hilarious as any show, any time, anywhere." and "...right on par with the best sketch comedies of our age." It's a theatre experience unlike anything you've ever seen before. Or will again. Well, except for our next production. And the one after that. And hopefully the one after that...
Rob MacDonald Robert is a kind and gentle child who performs well-enough in testing, but needs to apply himself more in his at-home studies. A shy child, he gets along well with most other students when pressed and is well-liked, but does show some anti-social behaviors which should be monitored. Robert has shown interest in our theatre program and expresses himself adequately when he performs. Has he had his eyes tested? |

Lennie MacPherson "They don't come any lennier!" That's not something you'd have wanted to say out loud until recently. But after years of hard work, lennie's lennieness is finally being ranked among the lennie greats. Says lennie of his craft, "i used to take being a lennie for granted, but then, i don't know, something in me was stirred - i just knew i had to fully realize my lennie potential," adding, "so now i start my day with three sets of lennies until fatigue, followed by an hour of lennieing. i always make sure to have plenty of lennie as well. And on those days when i'm feeling a little underlennied, well, that's when it counts the most, i make sure to really amp up the lennie." His passion shows - he might just be the lenniest.

Graham Putnam Graham spends his summers skulking around campgrounds dressed like a coyote, tricking travelling families into feeding him scraps. The ruse is simple enough. He waits for the target campers to go to sleep before he steals food and beer out of their coolers. In the winters he vacates God's favourite Island to traverse the globe fighting poverty, climate change, terrorism, fire and the moon. He wishes that one day all the people on Earth, regardless of creed and colour, can come together and send him a small percentage of of their monthly earnings in tribute to his glorious leadership. He is currently working on improving his Rubik's Cube solving speed. |

Jason Rogerson Ever since Mr. Jason stole a baby from its candy he knew he wanted to be in comedy. Since then, he has done several funny things. Oh, you want him to mention them? Sorry, he can't. He isn't here. I'm just his secretary, Bailey Quarters Moneypenny. You see, since Mr. Jason has made it big in comedy on PEI, he's been living large. A brand new 1995 Ford Taurus wagon, a swank sub-basement apartment, exotic spider pets... I could go on, but I have to feed the stolen babies or Mr. Jason will get all sooky. And there's nothing funny about that!

Andrew Sprague If Andrew had a business card it would define his profession as "Managing Generalist". That title has a double meaning in that he manages to make a living by doing a number of things generally well. He excells at little, but few can match his ability to appear as if he knows what he's doing in a wide variety of situations. He hopes one day to run for politics where he feels his talents would be best put to work. Until then, he will continue to do a bit here and there, and keep on doing it well, kind of. |

Dennis Trainor Dear journal, Woke today to the sounds of tiny birds chirping and cheeping outside my room. Oh how I love their flighty songs. If only I could reach out and have one perch for a moment in my hand. Damn bars! Things are good though. The food's delicious, and I'm getting used to the grey decor. I miss you all very much. Like...a lot! I've been busy. There's push-ups in the morning, crafts in the afternoon (optional), and prayers at night. I'm getting good at prayers! I practice them in front of the distorted plexiglass mirror. Well, that's about it. I hope you're all doing as nicely as me. I must go now. I hear footsteps approaching from down the hall. PS: Don't cha just love to laugh! Cheers!

Kelly Caseley - Stage Manager Kelly really hates writing her own bios, and actually considered leaving her position of Stage Manager when faced with the task. Who wants to read something written by a Stage manager? They aren't really known for being smart or witty. And obviously Kelly isn't very funny or she'd be on stage where all the real action is, not back stage with a dorky head set and a fancy flash light, and a roll of duct tape stuck to her pant leg. |

Ryan Townshend - Crewmaster An early education in armoured reconnaissance has prepared Ryan surprisingly well for working backstage for Sketch-22. Army courses in demolitions, riot control, firearms handling, stealth, and computers have all been re-purposed for use in preproduction and nightly operation of this show. Ryan has worked a variety of crew roles in short films, features, and theatre on the Island, but his most recent accomplishment is his new daughter Adele, who is beautiful. And Ryan will have words with anyone who says otherwise. |

Harmony Wagner - Class of '06/'07 Harmony is sick of all this turmoil. War, racisim, inequality, hatred. Where's it gonna end? Humanity is poised to engineer it's own demise and all anybody wants to talk about is Paris Hilton. Luckily, Harmony has the solution to the all of the world's problems. Alien invasion! That would unite us at last. So she spends her evenings aiming her microwave at the sky and flicking her lights on and off in morse code in hopes of triggering a world war for world peace. |

Josh Weale - Class of ' 04/'05 A level 3 scout, Josh is currently exploring the pastures of Toronto in search of sweet comedy nectar. Upon finding a pasture ripe for colonizing, he will emit a pheromone that will attract other comedy drones from the Sketch-22 hive. While Josh understands that his scouting work is essential to the expansion (and eventual global dominance) of the Sketch Colony, he still longs for the day when he can return to the hive and bask in the presence of his Queen (HRM Rob MacDonald). |

Ghislaine O'Hanley - Stage Manager - Class of '05-'08 Ghislaine likes whiskey, running tech rehearsals, pushing buttons, calling “Places!” and being bossy. In her spare time, she excels at track and field, stalking small time celebrities on myspace and making bad choices. She also is the owner/operator of the Dorchester Home for Wayward Boys, est. 2004. |
