Chicken With Gun

Introduction

In a game of Quiplash my roommate submitted the answer “chicken with a gun.” Then I had to make it all political!

Welcome to a cartoonishly absurd show about a farm and a forest. This not-so-subtle allegory is everything that upsets me about modern politics: I feel like we bicker about the issue of the hour rather than search for the root of our problems. I don’t know how to be a politician or how to draft policy, so I’m writing a show. I hope that when people see a bunch of farm animals navigate modern politics, they believe humans can too.

So, if you don’t like animal puns or politics, go cluck yourself, this show isn’t for ewe.

 

Logline

When forest animals endanger the farm, one determined chicken takes matters into his own wings, and he's clucking mad.
