Dangerous Neighbors Sketch Comedy with Special Guest Sherri Rose

Dangerous Neighbors, Santa Cruz's longest reigning sketch comedy group, and solo artist Sherri Rose perform An Evening of Drollery and Dread.

Dangerous Neighbors mercilessly blast away at sensitive subjects through a series of hilarious sketches. A family immersed in its mobile devices fails to notice their births, deaths and divorces. A scandal-plagued congressman's botched apology unleashes fresh outrage. A New Age family counselor tries to save the marriage of narcissistic liberals with puppet therapy. A duo of hard-boiled homicide detectives track down a diabolical serial killer using artisanal hand lotions.

Sherri Rose performs How Not To Die: The Top 10 - a multi-character, time-traveling socio-political comedy. The show is full of crazy - and not so crazy - safety tips from washing your curtains in Borax to repel radiation to what to put in your earthquake bins. Sherri humorously explores the questions: Are the things we do to feel safe actually making us any safer? How do we balance staying alive and truly living?

The Artists:
Dangerous Neighbors has been assaulting the sensibilities of the Bay Area for twenty years and has appeared in theaters, nightclubs, universities, academic conferences, benefits, and all three years of the Santa Cruz Fringe Festival. "If satire were a weapon," the Santa Cruz Sentinel's Wallace Baine wrote, "Dangerous Neighbors would be a heavily armed Doomsday cult."

Sherri Rose is a writer/performer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. How Not to Die, Sherri's second full-length solo show, premiered at the Santa Cruz Fringe Festival in 2014. Her first show, Waiting: A Love Story, was performed at the Minnesota Fringe Festival and the iNDY Fringe. Sherri has performed throughout Northern California, including the Mojo Theatre, Monday Night Marsh, the Alcove Theater, the Dragon Theatre, Esalen Institute, Stage Werx, and Hidden Valley.
