Geegland have just found out that the monthly cost of their rent-controlled apartment on the Upper West Side is about to jump from $75 a month to $4,000. The general premise: Two old dudes with striking similarities to Faizon and St. So for roughly two hours (including a lengthy and lively post-show Q&A) these two septuagenarians-played-by-30-somethings proudly parade around in their corduroy pants and prescription sneakers beneath a painted cityscape backdrop of New York City, introduce themselves ("Charmed, I'm sure"), poke fun at theater as an art form ("Theater is the hot new thing right now! There's 'Hamilton' … and no other examples!") and then proceed to present their own semi-autobiographical stage production (titled "We're Us, You're You, Let's Talk"), complete with numerous snappy asides, meandering interludes and plenty of readings of the stage directions. They both love Steely Dan, tuna and smoking cocaine. Geegland (a retired professor of short stories at SUNY Yonkers) is prone to profane outbursts and casual racism, while Faizon (the self-proclaimed best actor in Manhattan) nervously pulls on his faded and improperly-tucked dress shirt. Kroll and Mulaney are so invested in these nincompoops that it's easy to get swept up in their bizarre beliefs and mannerisms.
