Welcome to Stand Up & Grill
Our mission : We are an independent Production company comprised of industry professionals striving to supply our viewers and sponsors as well, a fun new twist on cooking and comedy. On screen “we’re” not perfect, and that’s half the fun. Behind the scenes we are a dedicated team “real people” all working in other industry’s to afford the opportunity to produce this show and many more. All having production experience in front of and behind the camera. Our chef is a certified executive chef one of only 5000 or so in the world , a SAG actor, along with producing several independent productions in addition to Stand Up & Grill.
Stand Up & Grill is Unique, because of the simplicity of the production as it allows us to produce this show in several different concepts depending on a networks needs and particular themes.
For example:
1. Pilot Episodes #1 & #2, are shot at the legendary Ice House comedy club in Pasadena. Show #3 could be from a comedy club in South Beach, #4 from New York. We are portable, we can set up anywhere. And by doing so, we give the clubs and their comics excellent exposure, and feature regional fair on the grill with Chef DonnO and Jimmy Burns at the helm.
With this traveling concept we could even set up on a beach or at festive events with out the club and import our comics.
2. For more of an adult twist, consider “Larry Sanders Meets Emeril”. The show with in a show concept. Following the trials and tribulations of an inde group. Working their day jobs all to
produce a monthly public access cooking comedy show hoping
for their big break. The excitement, the energy and relating to
the hopes and dreams along with the pit falls of making it in the
entertainment industry. “ A dramdy if you will.”
3. Consider the same type of show as our pilot episode in a studio setting with the live audience, and special guest comics.
We would love the opportunity to discuss the many possibilities with you in making this a new and refreshing twist on comedy and cooking. Please visit our web site:
