Last night, during a routine visit up to Columbia, my good friend/partner-in-queer-crime Zach introduced me to the wonder that is the VGL Gay Boys. From Vulture:
In these semi-scripted video sketches, Cole Escola usually plays the funny guy (or gal—Bernadette Peters, say) to Jeffrey Self’s “straight” man, wrapping up sketches with intimations of murder—he says, in true improv-class form, that “it ups the stakes.”
Um, how have I not seen these before last night?
My personal favorite:
“And he runs into the burglars from the first one, and they chase after him…”
“Yes, and they just murder him. They murder that poor boy.”
