Jeannette is a single mother living in a working-class community in Marseilles; she tries to support herself and her two kids on her salary as a check-out girl at a supermarket and lives in an apartment complex where everyone is thrown into close proximity with everyone else. Marius is working as a security guard at a cement factory that has gone out of business; he’s also squatting in the building, since the plant is soon to be demolished and he’ll be needing his money later on. One day, Jeannette happens by the factory, and spotting several cans of paint, tries to take two of them home with her. Marius spots her and tries to chase her away, while she rails at him with curses against the capitalist system. The next day, an apologetic Marius appears at her doorstep, cans of paint in hand; the two soon become friendly, and a romance begins to bloom, though it quickly becomes obvious that Jeannette’s romance novel fantasies are a bit off the mark from what Marius has in mind.

Describing David Crowe’s stand-up reads like the beginning of the Dickens’ classic, A Tale of Two Cities. “It was the smartest of shows. It was the dumbest of shows. It was erudite and sophisticated. It was physical and ridiculous. It was horrifying. It was hilarious.” Crowe stormed the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with five star reviews and agglomerations of madding fans. He’s won the Seattle and San Francisco comedy competitions, and has numerous appearances on Comedy Central and The Bob & Tom Radio Show. “Crooked Finger” was taped at the Triple Door Theater in downtown Seattle. It includes topical and some wild material that didn’t air on his Showtime Comedy Special. See the show that the Herald called “a lethal comedy whiplash.”
