A dozen years ago, I got involved in the annual community variety show, uxperience. Our publicity committee came up with the idea of running profiles in the local paper of cast members during the weeks leading up to the show.
That year, we profiled the members of probably the most popular reprising characters of uxperience, “The IGA Watchers.” The three amateur comics in the sketch were veterinarian Fred Cotie, high-school teacher Steve David, and resident Ken More. At one point we asked the three about the success of the IGA Watchers sketch.
“We just do what we’re told,” Fred Cotie said in jest.
“Steve does what’s in the script,” Ken More said. “Fred doesn’t.”
“Yeah, they’ve been riding on my coattails all these years,” Steve David kidded.
“I’m actually just a prop for Fred and Steve, that can walk,” Ken More concluded.
