Jack Ireland
"Danimals"
Member
After his breakout roles in "Hello, Dolly!" and "Big Fish" for the First Year Players, fame hit Jack hard, and he has since fallen off -- relegated to doing improv in hopes of another big break. Despite his last name, Jack is not actually Irish, and many have lobbied a petition to change it due to its misleading nature. Popular and more accurate submissions include "Jack Handsome," "Jack Funny," and "Jack Is A Second Year Music And Media Studies Major With A Minor In Leadership from Richmond, Virginia."

"Kool-Aid"
Mrs. Gig
“Max”, as you know him, is actually a high-tech dummy, which the Whethermen rent. Max refers to the small man behind the curtain who controls the voice and physical movements of the creature. The original model came with boobs, but, due to controversy, those were disposed of to create a stunning portrait of masculinity.
