Chainsaw Spaceman

Chainsaw Spaceman ran in Portland, Oregon from March-May, 2002. Look for the show in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York later this year!

In Chainsaw Spaceman, Hoskins and Breen have created a bold fusion of character-driven short stories broken up with both random and eclectic segments of razor-sharp sketch comedy. Hoskins and Breen give us glimpses into the lives of recurring characters by probing such themes as manipulation, gossip, miscommunication and worship. Travelling from Shakespeare to Led Zeppelin, from Mamet to Mystikal… audiences will bear witness to and recognize themselves in scenes including: Ron and Gary, two honest, hard-working log truckers; jealously between space lab rats; confused gunfighters; Uncle Wally’s challenges of aging in a technological society.
