Some Brits performed a Garrens sketch

One of my favorite sketches back in the Garrens Comedy Troupe days was “Dinner at Denny’s,” in which a man exhausted from making decisions all day at work goes to dinner and finds even more decisions to be made. We performed it several times back in 1996 (HOLY CRAP, that was a long time ago), and it appeared on the now-out-of-print Garrens CD.

Recently, a British university student by the name of Rob Shiels performed the sketch with his own comedy group and filmed it for posterity. The audio quality isn’t great, and the British accents might give you a run for your money (you can follow along with the script here), but it’s a fun little artifact that can now be viewed on YouTube or right here:

    Don’t you have a video of you performing it somewhere? That would be much better.

    I think I’ve got a video, Jason. I’ll have to see what I can do for you.

    I know that Jeff has some old Garrens videos as well. I think that we need to get them captured and put on YouTube or DVD or something.
