President 14 - Franklin Pierce

Everyone said Franklin Pierce looked and sounded like he should have been President. Everyone got their wish - and boy, did everyone get THAT one wrong! To explore the political foppery and personal darkness of yet another President who didn't stop the Civil War, DB Comedy is joined by two Special Guests: Neo-Futurist theatre Alumni Andy Bayiates and gothic novelist Andrew Pyper ("The Residence"). Revel in Franklin Pierce's handsomeness, shake your head at his governmental ineptness ...This episode’s sketches were Written and Produced by:Gina BuccolaSandy BykowskiJoseph FedorkoSylvia MannPaul MoultonPatrick J.
