What can we do for YOU?

El: Hey, Mel?

Mel: Yes, El?

El: 'Tis the season of giving.

Mel: I wish I knew where this was going...

El: And we've been making so many requests of late, that I want to give back to our people!

Mel: That's lovely, El!

El: What do you think they want?

Mel: I have NO idea!

El: Let's just ask!

Mel: Excellent. But, first, let's bullet point our Holiday Wishes for the very last time - just in case there are 2 1/2 people out there that don't know about them!

El: You're better with a list. Go for it!

Hi! It's Mel. I'm here to make a list of the things we wish people would put in our Jew Stockings this year for Christmas. I'm gonna make this list using letters instead of numbers cause I'm feeling craaaaaazy today!

 

 

 

A) The very last MEL & EL: OUR TIME OF THE MONTH of the year is this FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3rd! That's right, the show is usually on Thursdays but we're doing this one on a Friday so more of you can come out and play with us. We'll be joined by Special Guest Ben Lerman. He's terrific! Make your reservation by clicking HERE! Cause we want YOU to be there!

 

 

 

B) In just 2 clicks on the computer machine you could NOMINATE US for a fancy comedy award! Click HERE and write "Mel & El" in for BEST MUSICAL COMEDY ACT! We'd be honored just to be nominated. Really.

 

 

 

C) Only 8 DAYS LEFT for us to raise the $850 left on our Kickstarter Campaign! If you can forward this email to your friends & loved ones we'd be most grateful! Help us spread the word! The Webisodes Must. Be. Made.

 

Now, what do you want in your Jew Stocking this year? Tell us! We'll totally work on it!

XO,

Mel (& El, too!)

 

P.S. Book a group of 6 or more at our holiday show & you will receive a Personalized Holiday Rap from us! Feel free to also celebrate your birthday or anniversary, too.

Jingle Mel's, Jingle El's, Jingle all the way!

Happy Chrisma-kwanz-atheist-solstice-ukkah!

 

Our holiday show is upon us & we are doing it on a FRIDAY NIGHT (instead of our usual Thursday) so that more of you can come join us (since it's not a school night).

 

If you're looking for the perfect place to host your holiday party, you just found it! Book a group of 6 or more at our holiday show & you will receive a Personalized Holiday Rap from us! Feel free to also celebrate your birthday or anniversary, too.

XO,

Mel & El

 

P.S. We have 12 MORE DAYS to make our Kickstarter goal and we have $2,319 of our $10,000 still to raise or we won't make ANY of it! Please forward this to your people and let them know that we will deliver some amazing prizes if they want to pledge!

 

Here's a pic from the web series shoot so far. See? It's real!

 

   

This time there's no stoppin' us, we're gonna do it!

   

(Laverne & Shirley stopped by to say that they think Mel & El are the modern day Laverne & Shirley. 

And they want you to see this.)

Dearest Friends,

 

Right now, as you read this, we are shooting a scene for our Web Series! The plot details are top secret but let's just say it involves a gay convention, a giant box of tampons and fondue. There are background actors, a dolly grip, a table full of "craft services" (food) and, generally, a lot of people working their cute butts off to make this happen. We are thankful!

 

We are shooting even though we haven't yet finished our Kickstarter Campaign! Have you checked it out? Have you watched our little videos on the site? Have you been waiting to make a pledge or been waiting to pass this along to your friends? Well, you still have time! For you wonderful people that already have, Holy Moses, we are thankful!

We've raised $7,306 and have $2,694 to go! We know you've heard this on every telethon in the land, but every dollar actually makes a difference. It's just the rules of mathematics, people. Plus you can get amazing prizes for donating (CD's! A song written just for you! Executive Producer credits!) and, for that, you will be very, very thankful.

 

Guess what? Thankful,

 

Mel & El

 

Also, if you're in NYC...

You have no idea...

...the bizarre antics we got ourselves into this past weekend in order to spread the word about Mel & El and our Kickstarter Campaign. All we can say is it involved "the circus". Please see accompanying video here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1765786718/mel-isodes-and-el-isodes/posts

We're only a few weeks away from the end of our Campaign Deadline of December 7th. We've had 88 AMAZING HUMAN BEINGS pledge us a total of $6,921! Almost 70% of the way to our goal! We wonder what we could do if even 20 or 30 or 40 more AMAZING HUMAN BEINGS were willing to pledge a few bucks for some great prizes!

That said, we are TOTALLY GOING FORWARD WITH PRODUCTION and will start to shoot at the end of next week. Not to get all "The Secret" up in here, but we have faith/belief/fingers crossed that those 20 or 30 or 40 more people will bring up the financial rear and make it possible for us to actually feed our incredible crew and make this thing happen in the best way possible.

In conclusion, thank you to the fabulous givers and thank you to everyone that has forwarded our link on to their circle of friends. We cannot say enough how much WE APPRECIATE IT.

(THE LINK = http://kck.st/bZpxXq = PASS IT ON!)

Yours in wacky comedy that we hope will make the world a slightly funnier place,

Mel & El

Casting Call

 

Dear People,

"Casting Call" is not a cute euphemism for something-or-other to get you to read this blog.

You may have heard that we're in the midst of a ballsy Kickstarter Campaign to raise funds for our upcoming web series "The Mel & El Show". We're moving full steam ahead and are actually casting small roles & featured background. We would love to have you on our super-fun set to hang out with! We can eat M&Ms from the craft services table together! WHAT COULD BE BETTER?
 

TYPES: Looking for men & women, 20's-40's, to play various roles including including bizarre performance artists, patrons at a gay bar & eclectic audience members at a comedy show.

We ALSO need children of various ages, so if any of you want to come on set and bring your kids, this might work out beautifully!

DATES: November 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd (you do NOT need to be available every day)

If interested, please shoot us an email at melandel@melandel.com. Please include the dates & times you WOULD be available & attach a picture of your lovely self.

That's it! Easy!

If working on film shoots is not your thing but you'd still like to be involved, check out our Kickstarter Campaign - you can earn prizes or awards for a donation as little as $5! 

Feel free to pass this along to your lovely friends, as well.

It's fun to make art,

Mel & El

Sad Puppies

Dear Friend, 

This puppy needs a home.

This child needs...some more. 

 

These ladies need to make webisodes.

 

First of all, THANK YOU to all of you who have donated so far. We are beyond grateful and look forward to sending you all of your prizes & rewards! But the thing about Kickstarter is that we don't actually receive your pledges (and we can't send you your prizes) unless we make it to our fundraising goal!

We have to share that we received a very generous $1,000 donation last week from a total stranger. She had been receiving our email updates over the past year and just believes in what we're doing. Getting that donation filled us with energy & hope that we can do this. It also reminded us that we need to find a way to connect with people outside of our usual circle!

Maybe you know some people in far away lands like Wisconsin, Utah or...New Jersey who would like a little more female-friendly, slightly "inappropriate" comedy & music coming their way on the internet.

Maybe you can pass along our link to them and say "Hey, Utah Friend! Check out these ladies! For the cost of a Chicken Pad Thai you could get them closer to their dream!"

We don't know if they have Chicken Pad Thai in Utah, but you can change that part up depending on who you're talking to.

Thanks and love,

Mel & El
