Ham Pants Productions

Andy Wenger

Andy Wenger is a card shark on the Minge-Snark Pretense Circuit. Many theologians believe that “Wenger” is the only correct answer to the question, “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” Others believe that Andy is making this up, and that “Angel” is really a Puerto Rican fellow who is into eyeliner and mesh shirts. Andy has been friends with Damien for exactly two days and five hours less than Damien has been friends with Andy. No one ever told either of them any of this, which accounts for the unnecessarily aggressive nature of their relationship. Andy is Ham Pants Productions resident Director, and he Co-Wrote The Safe Way; Mr. Dingle, the Strong; and Random Idiot Factor with Damien. Once upon a time, Andy, Damien, and their friend Jason wrote and directed a play called The Old Ones, which is funny.

Monica Hernandez

Monica Hernandez is like a sprite. She’s not a sugary, carbonated beverage of citrus delights; however, Monica is a pixie with iridescent wings of the party-planning variety. As you can see, she is either terrifying or super-duper cute. She will make you a ham sandwich of your choosing for a dollar. Long before the advent of Ham Pants Productions, Monica and Damien made short films. Two of them. Want to watch them? Sure you do.

Here they are:

Damien & Monica – Escapades!

Damien & Monica – Sangira

John Harrison

John Harrison is a professional slacker and showman with a penchant for playing music in dingy bars. Oftentimes (when he’s not busy putting coffee or Guinness in his mouth) he can be found on stage singing and playing ukulele with his lovely band Vagabondage.

The official first music video from their upcoming “Songs from the Bottom of an Empty Glass” album – directed by Steve Doll and starring the Bay Area’s finest drinkers and roustabouts!

Shot on location at Oakland’s Port View Park and Heinold’s First and Last Chance Saloon.

No trains or whiskey were harmed in the making of this video.

Dan Foley

Dan Foley does things with his face and voice that are like pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, but set to music. Dan is brilliant, but not that overwhelming brilliance that makes you want to stab and rend, but that run-of-the-mill brilliance that makes you sit up and take notice while thinking, “With a couple years of practice, I could be that good!” But you can’t. You’re not Dan Foley. That position is filled, but we’ll keep your resume on file for the next six months and we’ll notify you if anything becomes available.

Bronson McKinley

Despite his criminal record and bizarre social idiosyncrasies, Bronson has become an integral part of Ham Pants Productions. Although originally recruited for his musical proficiencies and physical strength, he is now celebrated as a master of comedy. He rarely comes to rehearsal drunk and has never been violent to any of his fellow players. Bronson McKinley is a gentleman.

Bronson has been a part of various creative projects between time spent in state penitentiaries. One of our favorites has been his Captain Blackheart and the Scurvy Sea Dogs wherein he recreates the atmosphere of an old-time radio show about pirates on the Spanish Main. The following links point to some of the projects he has been involved in.
