Like the Horsehead Nebula poised over Orion’s nether-regions, Robot vs.
Dinosaur’s latest sketch show, Pretty from a Distance, is a beacon to
souls lost in the universe. Directed by RvD veteran Chris Othic, the
75-minute show addresses big questions
about our place in the universe and the rituals of life. Unlike a lot of
sketch comedy, it's got a lot of heart and minimal dick jokes. We think
you'll like it and leave the theater chanting ""Not insignificant, but
insignif-I-CAN!"
Starring:
Rammel Chan Susie Gutowski Mike Johnson Becca Levine Torian Miller Nat Topping Directed by Chris Othic 
This is a remount of sorts of the sold out show we did at Sketchfest this year. So, if you missed that, come see this! If you saw that, come see this! We added 20-30 minutes of new material and two new actors. Mike Johnson, an old friend of RvD's, is back playing with us and making his debut with us is Torian Miller. The show also features two pieces I wrote that I also regard as two of my favorites. There's Dolphin Encounter featuring Nat Topping as a disgruntled dolphin people pay to "swim" with and Boris vs. Nature featuring Mike as the husband of a small family having a stare down with a giraffe at the zoo. That piece first appeared in 365 Sketches and I re-wrote it for this show.
I'm very proud of this show and hope you check it out. Everyone is operating at the top of their game. This may just be our best show from the top-notch writing to the excellent comic acting to Chris's confident direction.
