ZOMBIE COMEDIAN ANGUS MACABRE BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO STANDUP COMEDY
-- "Bound up with ideas of the apocalypse, of race, of Otherness, of contagion, brainwashing and mass death, the zombie seems the perfect monster for these troubled times."
-- Jamie Russell, "Book of the Dead: The Complete History
of Zombie Cinema"
-- "As the West wages its War on Terror and makes imperial incursions into the Middle East, the zombie's role as a veiled commentary on relations between colonial occupier and native subjects and its more contemporary role as a symbol of the mass destruction of the First World may yet have a place in many, many nightmares."
-- Jamie Russell again
-- "I saw an interesting documentary on the telly last night...'Soylent Green.'"
-- Angus MacAbre
In what is perhaps the irony of the year, Scottish zombie comedian Angus MacAbre is breathing new life into standup comedy. MacAbre's "undeadpan" style of humor could be just what the standup scene needs.
MacAbre's act draws on his real-life experiences as a flesh-eating member of the undead --
including his eating habits, love life (or lack thereof) and hilarious observations on the differences between men zombies and women zombies.
MacAbre is already hard at work developing a sitcom based on his comedy (working title:
BITE ME). MacAbre describes it as "Seinfeld-meets-The-Addams-Family"). He's hoping
to get Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson to play the part of his ex-wife. "But so far, her people
aren't returning my calls," MacAbre says. "But it's summer so they're probably on vacation.
I'll undoubtedly hear back from them after Labor Day."
MacAbre is also taping a pilot for a cooking show called THE ZOMBIE GOURMET. "If all
goes well, The Food Network will pick it up," he says. And let's not forget that late-night

MacAbre hopes to perform at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival (August 5th to 27th)
but it's doubtful that this will happen as he hasn't even looked into the possibility of performing
there yet.
