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.
In addition to their regular two-person format, Franz & Dave have played a number of one-off shows including a Free Fringe appearance out of their usual costumes, in which the characters of Kafka and Lynch played recent Hideout graduates performing their first improv show. On April 17, 2014, again as part of the Free Fringe, Franz & Dave directed a Maestro.
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
