Beginnings episode 7: Rue Brutalia

Rue Brutalia is Jason Kalter and Jon Pack, a sketch duo that's been performing here in New York since 2006/2007. The duo met in one of Kevin Allison's sketch classes at The PIT and struck up a fast friendship and writing/performing relationship. Rue Brutalia's sketches are delightful and absurd and fun and playful, and the two have been picking up steam lately. They not only performed at NYC Sketchfest for their third year in 2010, but they also helped to produce the festival. Kalter and Pack are a fountain of knowledge for the sketch scene both in New York and nationally. We sat down with the duo at the end of August to dish about the nadir of sketch, how to write sketch, lolcats, Broadway conspiracies, and the death of Google Wave.
