This devastatingly funny show follows a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at New York's number-one restaurant. From a high class housewife, to Naomi Campbell's light in the loafer assistant and many more in this cast of desperate callers who will stop at nothing to land a prime reservation, or the right table. Amid the insanity, Sam's got his own needs to contend with—his recently widowed dad wants him home for Christmas, and he's up for a choice part at Lincoln Center. While juggling scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can he manage to look out for himself? Fully Committed boasts a cast of 40 all played by one man!

"Runaway winner for best holiday show...story flies like a Friday night on ecstacy and is as crisp as this week's issue of US Weekly."

-GRACE SUH, PITCH WEEKLY

"A holiday show unlike anyother...the room resonated with a vibe that wouldn't be out of place in a hole-in-the-wall theatre in downtown Manhattan."

-ROBERT TRUSSELL, KANSAS CITY STAR

Brindsay Kardilton is a Hollywood It Girl with a penchant for all vices great and small. It's all fame and reindeer games till a car accident/DUI/altercation lands her in the slammer. On a not-so-silent night in Jail, Brindsay Kardilton is visited by the Ghosts of Rehab Past, Present & Future where visions of booger sugar and fenemies dance in her head.
