Broke Hack Mountain
A raw, powerful story of two hack standup comedians who meet and form an unorthodox yet life-long bond--by turns ecstatic, bitter and conflicted.

J.J. Nolan: Ted Alexandro
Skip Rosenberg: Dave Siegel

IT'S HERE! As a follow-up to his debut CD, Ted's sold out show at Flushing Town Hall has been released on DVD!

His skewered vision of life makes Ted a comic find.
-Lewis Black, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart

That Jesus Abs joke... even Mel Gibson would laugh!
-Dave Attell, Insomniac with Dave Attell
