A comedy hour co-written and performed with collaborator Masha Breeze

Chamomile and Carol are amateur taxidermists bonded by their passion for waterparks, bad girls, and letting it all hang out. Nasty, Chamomile’s cat, and John Travolta, Carol’s sadistic ex husband, have both died. Now the two women must find perfect resting places for the ashes of their loved (and hated) ones. Armed with the urns and a sense of adventure, Carol and Chamomile spend the day at their favorite place, The Waterpark, from which point their quest takes a mystical turn. Â
