Tin Can Brothers
Tin Can Brothers is an LA based comedy group. Residents of the same building, Corey Lubowich, Brian Rosenthal and Joey Richter soon realized they could communicate between apartments with a tin can phone. Thus, the brothers were born. They’ve posted over 100 videos to YouTube garnering three quarters of a million views and thousands of subscribers. Their first live show sold out at Chicago’s Stage 773. They followed it with a run at Hollywood’s ACME Comedy Theatre. @tincanbros
