Beat Off Dirty Yanks
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2007

A comedic character smackdown slammed with stand-up, sketch and improvisation. 
Some contenders include: Buck, a Jewish soul loving hick and Hector, a chauvinistic Mexican plumber. 
Free nightly knock-out bout of warped jackasses delivering American spunk!

"Beat Off" Dirty Yanks / DoubtUS Productions
From Saturday, 04 August 2007 -  21:50 To Saturday, 25 August 2007 - 22:50 Every day
"Beat Off" Dirty Yanks  America's most idiotic, obnoxious, and energetic outcasts throw themselves onto the stage for a character comedy bout world premiere!. So come if you’re willing, come if your cheap, won’t matter to them because they’re all dumb as “bleep”. “Beat off” Dirty Yanks slams sketch, stand-up, and improvisation together to bring you unsophisticated American culture in its authenticity. Some wacky characters include Buck, a Jewish bemused redneck poet who loves nothing more then to shake down to a little 80”s soul. Or there’s Hector, a Mexican-American plumber who works day in and out to clean your pipes and plunge your holes. And who could forget the loose-lipped drunken bum who somehow guides this insane posse of trailer trash as the host. These three amongst other bizarre jackasses entertain in this free nightly event. Drenched in satire and shrouded in lowbrow knockout blows, “Beat Off” Dirty Yanks shows that even with all the American bashing going on lately, the land of the free can still kick some ass! The group got together before the show and we’re quoted together saying: “We’re coming for you. Our style is impetuous. Our comedy is impregnable, and we’re just ferocious. We want your heart. We want to eat your children. You’ve never experienced American spunk with so much flavor!” www.myspace.com/doubtusproductions

Doubt Us productions 
started their company and show because they were tired of conventional stand-up.
 They wanted to do something unique and different from what seemed to be the norm at comedy clubs.  
"Beat Off" Dirty Yanks 
is the first installment in a run of completely original character comedy shows.
 The show is a fresh and completely original alternative to most stand-up shows. 
"Beat Off" Dirty Yanks 
doesn't really contain well written jokes with witty punch-lines. The show doesn't focus on the joke but more on the chance to meet unique characters who happen to be funny people.

 "Beat Off" Dirty Yanks 
deputed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival '07 and has been leaving audiences perplexed, half cheering in hysterics and half with dropped jaws. 
DoubtUS Productions is a fresh, completely original alternative to your average stand-up show. 
DoubtUS hopes to redefine the comedy experience by claiming "Death to Stand-up!"

 Here is a brief overview of the people behind the DoubtUS crew.

Tim Schwartz:
 A true traveler at heart, Tim has spent the better half of three years traveling the world as a means to ease his old soul. Tim is a man, full of passion, he spent his last summer as a volunteer in a Bulgarian orphanage. He has always had knack for comedy and began a career last fall as a stand-up in Los Angeles. Quickly picking up his bags he moved to London and advanced his career in a scene full of conventional stand-up comedians. He is a true believer in karma and feels the world is unjust and un communal. His spirit is strong and therefore keeps a strong support system around him. His dream is what started the DoubtUS team, therefore he brought his friends with him, those that he enjoys their company and admires their work. While on his travels, Tim has studied different forms of performance art. He has studied improvisation at the The Groundlings theatre in Los Angeles. He has studied dramatic acting in London at CityLit theatre and has performed comedy throughout London and Los Angeles.

Ty Twiss:
 
Working at a youth hostels in Los Angeles is where Ty first met Tim. Becoming friends quickly after finding themselves having similar views of the world, the two jokers took on peoples perceptions of reality with obscure antics and stylish personas. Tyler moved to Central America though, but after months of life in the sand Tyler and Tim met again in London. While Tim worked on his act with the help of the young stallion, Ty squated in Shoreditch running a speak easy to make ends meet. He also was a part of a co-op which ran a vegan cafe in the urban area of Hackney. For months Tim and Tyler worked along side each other, creating experimental comedy in clubs throughout London. 
As time progressed they decided upon the idea of forming a company to be perceived as professionals. 
DoubtUS Productions was then born, and Ty and Tim began to formulate outlandish ideas for a comedy scheme. The path has now begun to be forged, all that is left is to take the first step towards success.
 
Ronald Prouty: 

Ron is shrouded in spirituality and personal growth. A regular practitioner of transcendental mediation, he finds an outlet for his bizarre and outlandish behavior on stage. Ron has a talent for combing quick-wit with wild physical humor. Ron's favorite outlet is comedy, he finds everything to be comical and enjoys bizarre and outlandish forms of expression. Alone in Los Angeles while Ty and Tim we're inLondon, Ron developed his own unique and outrageous characters. He showcased his talents in clubs throughout Los Angeles and brought his audiences on rollercoaster rides. Ron met up with Tim and Ty in London to begin DoubtUS Productions. He enjoys his spirituality as well as being an eccentric and rather intriguing individual. An avid surfer, Ron feels most happy while at the beach or on stage. Ron has studied improvisation at both The Groundlings and The Second City Studio theatre in Los Angeles. He has been a regular performer in over 6 improvising groups and has performed in comedy clubs all over the greater Los Angeles area.
