Franz & Dave is a duo consisting of Brad Hawkins and Christopher "Ceej" Allen, playing the roles of Franz Kafka and David Lynch.
History
Franz & Dave was conceived in the Hideout's green room during a show sometime in early 2011. The duo debuted as part of ColdTowne's Shakedown, hosted by Brett Tribe. They played to an audience of six that night.
Format
Franz & Dave's usual format has the characters of Kafka and Lynch collaborating on a "movie" based on the audience's suggestion (typically a dull or menial occupation, ala Kafka). The characters begin by scene painting, then break into and out of scenes from the "movie" as desired.
In The 44-Hour Improv Marathon, the duo introduced "Pine Falls", an improvised take on Twin Peaks
