Biography: 

Hot and Bothered is Oliver Hot and Stanley Bothered. They are baggy pants performers of the Neo-Vaudeville tradition who incorporate banter, comedy, clown, music, magic and nonsense to bring a change of pace to the burlesque scene and beyond.

Hot and Bothered extend the longstanding tradition of the comedy-musical duo that has spanned from Abbot and Costello, through the Smothers Brothers and on to Flight of the Conchords.

Though they don’t strictly limit themselves to the 1920′s Vaudevillian period, they do embrace the aesthetic and style of that era and strive to bring it to the modern stage.

Brad Grochowski (Stanley Bothered) is an actor, web programmer and daddy.  He studied theatre performance at Western Michigan University. He is channeling his love of music, ukelele, writing and vaudeville-era performance into each and every show performed by the Hot and Bothered duo.  He is also the author of the book, The Secret Weakness of Dragons and Other Tales A Fairy Whispered In My Ear. 

Sean P Finn (Oliver Hot) is a nocturnal musician and philosopher of aural delights.  He is a broadcast engineer and producer by day, and an avid sailor whenever possible.  Having made his stage debut at Orchestra Hall in Chicago at the age of 4, it’s pretty much been downhill ever since.
