Mon Frère
Greensboro, NC
Mon Frere is a six-man comedy sketch troupe from Greensboro, North Carolina, originally conceived by some guys who went to college together and thought they were pretty funny. Irreverent, outrageous, and indecent, sketches cover a plethora of ideas and topics, from the idiosyncrasies of mundane life to flights of completely inappropriate fantasy.
Founded in 2008, Mon Frere originally consisted of its co-founders and partners in crime, John McIntosh, an actor with a talent for the hilarious, and AJ Schraeder, a member of the acclaimed Idiot Box improv comedy troupe in Greensboro. The two began writing short sketches and performing them at local comedy clubs and open mic nights, and the group soon expanded to include Bob Beshere, an English professor and another member of the Idiot Box troupe, Mat Schantz, a law student with a secret past involving community theater, and Abe and Al-don Schraeder, AJ's brothers, thus forming an unholy trinity of Schraeder comedy within the group. Having recently presented their first full-length sketch show, consisting of all-new material written by the members, Mon Frere is preparing to expand their repertoire and increase their opportunities to do what they do best: shock and delight their audiences.
