Bada Swing!
That's right, America! It's time to give the people what they want...a lounge-jazz musical about two disgusting old men. The boys are back, baby! Bobby Bingus and Tommy Linguini, two 1960's crooners whose careers, livers, and opinions have seen better days. This once-in-a-lifetime reunion concert promises you undeniable Italian chemistry while performing their greatest hits. However after a deep-seated conflict is revealed, the audience will witness two legends attempt to avoid vulnerability at all costs. Bobby and Tommy’s decline mirrors the evolution of gender and acceptable conduct. Everything is sure to go perfectly. We guarantee it!

Josh Nasser is an NYC based actor and stand-up comedian. His comedy has been featured on Comedy Central’s YouTube Channel. Vulture and onmogul.com have both named Josh as one of the best up and coming comedians in NYC.

You can find his previous work at joshnasser.com. And of course his favorite food is plain cheese pizza. He knows that’s a boring choice and he will work on it.
