In a comedy of grief, these Accountants of Death work tirelessly to record the death toll. The occupational hazards wear on these two clowns as they learn the meaning of life and death.

Tobin Mitnick dives into the grotesque and hilarious world of online grifters and con men with sketch and stand-up in order to show us that the game may have changed, but the players are all still here. But the show grows darker as Mitnick answers a lingering question: can you con yourself?

Are you on your phone right now? My god. I hope you're not driving. (Crash). Not my fault! Tie it off and see the show!
