AMERICAN CANDY is Crackalicious Sketch & Musical Comedy for the Majority!

 

AMERICAN CANDY is the love child of ‘In Living Color’ and ‘The Carol Burnett Show.’ Combining the sass and edge of Color with the intelligence and heart of Burnett,  AMERICAN CANDY celebrates the deliciousness of American pop culture. Founded in 2009 by Hollie Harper, she set out to build  a successful sketch show by removing the stereotype that all comedy is the provenance of young white men. With a multi-cultural cast and team of female and male writers, the material has a wide appeal.

 

AMERICAN CANDY is executive-produced by Hollie Harper   with a troupe of ten writer-directors and over thirty actors.

 

AMERICAN CANDY uses smart humor, musical comedy and dance routines to tell America’s stories.  With the use of themes like The Wild, Wild West, Hot Chocolate and Sex in the USA, the show’s writers hone in on the pulse of American idiosyncrasies and wring humor from the most unlikely places.
