Empty Bench: Assphyxation / by Johnny Michael

Assphyxation it’s a a cheeky new comedy sketch with the Empty Bench team.

Baby got back story… it started with a funny rap lyric that fell into my head, “Ass so fit, I was fixated. Couldn’t breathe, she had me asphyxiated.” Yeah I guess I’ve got a little bit of Detroit rap boy in me somewhere… From there it become a sketch idea. As always we worked and produced it as a team. While I didn’t star or make a cameo in this one — I was happy to claim the creative titles of being the writer, a director at times and also the editor. This one was a bit edgier in topic and nature, but we had a super fun crew and cast which made the whole experience a blast from end to end… even if it took us 9 months to finally shoot all the pieces we needed. It’s a truly a labor of love for the laughs and I’m glad we stuck with it and pulled off another fun sketch. Hopefully the internet will discover and enjoy it too. Here are some photos from behind the scenes…
