A work-in-progress comedy show in which Peter Rugman plays Mort Whimsey, the defrosting mid-century mogul behind Whimsey Studios. Together with his cartoon sidekick Lucky the Possum, Mort defends his legacy, confronts past scandals and debunks suspicious accidents. It is a dark and hilarious one-man journey through capitalism, nostalgia and animagical delights. The show contains strong language and themes including death, suicide and corporate abuse, and is recommended for ages 16 and up.
