Local comedy troupe, The Woodcreek Faction, saw one of their videos aired on an episode of Comedy Central’s Atom TV on Tuesday.
“Wrong Tree, Wrong Time,” was shot this past summer in Calhoun by the Rome-based comedy trio of Bryan Mullins, Greg Culberson and Jason Beck.
“Basically, painter (and PBS television host) Bob Ross is painting a tree that Greg climbs and gets stuck in,” Mullins said. “Bob Ross things Greg is a monkey. It’s pretty funny but ends tragically for the climber.”
The Woodcreek Faction has enjoyed success on the Web with its sketch comedy videos, earning thousands of views on Youtube.
Mullins said the group is excited to have its video on such a public venue as Atom TV which is known as a springboard for comedic talent.
In its second season, Atom TV is a latenight (actually very early morning) television program on Comedy Central. It airs top-voted Web series plucked from Atom.com. Videos can be animated, live-action, sketch comedy or parodies.
The show is a venue for not only professional animators and writers, but amateurs looking for their big break. It has been the launching pad for several comedy writers.
“You submit your video to Atom.com and they have a competition every so often and they’ll put up three videos at a time on the site and viewers pick their favorites,” Mullins said. “The funniest ones gets on the actual television show.”
This is not the first time a Woodcreek Faction video has made it on the show. Their ‘Farewell to President Bush” video also made the lineup.
To view the “Wrong Tree, Wrong Time” video, as well as all The Woodcreek Faction’s videos including two new Christmas sketches, visit online at thewoodcreekfaction.com or search for “woodcreek faction” on Youtube.com.
Mullins said the group hopes its Rome fan base will grow.
“The best way for anyone to support us, other than a kind donation of course, is to subscribe to The Woodcreek Faction’s Youtube page,” he said.
