Sketch-22 Adds New Member It's a boy! For it's fifth season of all new material, Sketch-22 is thrilled to announce the addition of Lennie MacPherson to their ranks. With a background in writing, performance, and blacksmithery, Lennie is a natural fit for the live sketch comedy troupe. Don't believe us? I dare you to read the next paragraph. Here's what people are saying about Lennie: "Having Lennie in the group is fantastic," says Rob MacDonald. "I was having trouble with my bellows not blowing properly, and after just a quick glance, Lennie could see my tuyere was blocked. Now, it's 'Full Forge Ahead, Sketch 22!!' And it's all thanks to Lennie MacPherson." "He sure is a tall f**ker," says Graham Putnam. "I really feel threatened by Lennie," says Andrew Sprague. "Most of the time I'm upstaged completely by the other members of Sketch, what with their good looks and humour. I was hoping a new member would present an opportunity for me to do the upstaging. Problem is, he's good, and tall. Dammit." Dennis Trainor is anxious to start working with the group's newest member. "When do we drink shots outta his belly-button?" And Lennie MacPherson had this to say about Lennie MacPherson. "Since joining Sketch-22, my anxiety attacks have been less frequent and my complexion has improved. I'm even thinking of getting tested again for my shellfish allergy. It's just great to be part of a gang - any gang, really - no matter what the ideology." Well, if even half of this is true, it sounds like it's going to be another great season!
