Caught in Red Tape (2005)

“Caught in Red Tape” 2005 — Tomboys in Fishnets fifth all-original production explored the ridiculous world of bureaucracy. These lightening fast sketches (18 in under an hour) skewered some of life’s frustrating moments. Think waiting in line at the post office… “Can I please just have some *&&**%!!! stamps?,” an ambulance chaser who parks his butt in the ER, or imagine Paris Hilton at the DMV. “Caught in Red Tape” featured more than 50 unforgettable characters in a smorgasbord of intellectual, political, social, locker room, and even from-the-gutter comedy. No doubt our audience identified with the troupe’s slanted take on “battling the system.”

“Caught in Red Tape” ran for 5 months including a stint at “The New York Underground Comedy Festival.” They also were recommended by the L.A. Weekly, were featured on Flavor pill L.A. and garnered a cover story in the “Rave” section of “The Daily Breeze.”
