Dog Mountain closes out their latest show, ‘No Cussin’ on the Mountain’.

Okay, that’s not totally correct.

But he is moving to New York City and this is a big deal. Rob is one of THE seminal figures in the Philly sketch comedy community as one-half of sketch duo, Meg & Rob, as well as writing & performing for Camp Woods and Alley of Nightmares, a sketch show based on horror anthologies such as Tales From The Crypt, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Twilight Zone.
