Founded in 2003, The Feral Chihuahuas are a sketch comedy troupe committed to providing all original material that delivers a unique viewing experience. The Feral Chihuahuas formed as a group when two different theatre troupes discovered they had similar visions and enjoyed working together. Influences include: Monty Python, Kids in the Hall, Mr. Show, SCTV, Seinfeld, The State, The Family Guy and many others. Often bringing fresh humor from common situations, they also delve into absurdism, existentialism, and draw a lot of their humor from political and social commentary. The Feral Chihuahuas are certainly a different breed, and their mission is to be brave, smart, edgy, and most of all, funny.
Meet the Feral Chihuahuas: Hailing from all sides of the US (okay,actually just the South) they are: Jay Becknell, Tommy Calloway, Rich Gays, and Elizabeth Taylor. What sets The Feral Chihuahuas apart from other groups is that members write and rehearse 30 minutes worth of new material in 3 days and present it every other Friday in a shed in Woodfin, just outside Asheville. Although it may seem like a lot of work in a short time, the troupe never compromises their vision while striving to stay fresh and continuing to push themselves.This group can also be seen occasionally at 35Below. They will also be featured in the upcoming Fringe Festival here in Asheville.The Feral Chihuahuas can be contacted at: (828) 253-8019 OR [email protected].
