BC comedy duo Chris Wilson and Peter Carlone have created a hysterically funny show in which Pete looks for meaning in his young life. Inspired by Sarah McLachlan, he thinks he’s found it in composting. Meanwhile, he peers into Chris’s troubled mind to find his heroic neurons literally battling his inner demons.

The action takes one unexpected twist after the next, involving an egotistical life coach and his “truth-bombs” and an evil composter bent on world domination.  Expert at mime, dance and improv, the endlessly inventive duo reveal that Hollywood and Hong Kong action movies accurately depict how the male Gen Y psyche interacts with the world.
