Almost Twins

About Me

Cousins born 10...no 11...wait more like 14 days apart.
We've literally been making each other laugh since we were born.

Jake Szymanski - Director, Writer, Actor. Schooled at the famed Northwestern University(no not the one from fame) Jake was involved with NSTV, a student sketch comedy organization, worked for Blue Mark and purple onion productions, and is well known on the stand up circuit.

Jack Packard - Writer, holder of camera, set up man. At a very young age Jack found a love of wisenhinery. His antics made Jake laugh, so Jack's been a real ass ever since. He's learned to not only be a smart-ass, but to be a smart-ass with a pen.

Almost Twins Comedy is currently being featured widely on Funny Or Die

Jake is currently working in L.A.
Jack is currently watching every video on the nternet in Milwaukee

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

HIGH-FIVE INAUGURATION! - watch more funny videos
The Apparatus for Simulating a "High Five" was filed by an inventor named Albert Cohen, in an apparent attempt to make the most depressing device in history. "During a televised sporting event," the patent explains, "a 'high five' is commonly shared between fans to express the joy and excitement of a touchdown, home run, game-winning basket, birdie or other positive occurrence. Unfortunately ... a 'high five' requires the mutual hand slapping of two participants ... As such, a solitary fan is unable to perform a 'high five' to express excitement during a televised sporting event." That might be the most unintentionally revealing patent ever written. Can someone write Albert Cohen a letter and clue him in about sports bars or fantasy football leagues or something? There's gotta be someone out there for him to watch sports with. As it stands, he's sitting around his dank one-bedroom apartment in sweatpants, oiling up his mechanical "high five" machine for tomorrow's big game. We almost want to manufacture this thing just so we can send anyone who purchases it directly over to Albert's house to hang out with him.
