About

Meg & Rob make the sort of comedy that only two people who have escaped from the world of TV shopping can: absurd, dark, and smart, combining a hilarious helping of sales-pitch schlock with history and a dash of horror-movie creepiness.

The group is comprised of Meg Favreau and Rob Baniewicz, two people who firmly believe that if they went by their last names, no one would pronounce them correctly. They formed Meg & Rob while working at QVC (yes, that QVC) in 2006. Since then Meg & Rob have been featured all over the country, including at the 2009 Chicago Sketchfest, 2009 & 2007 Boston Comedy Festivals, and 2008 Seattle Sketchfest. Combining video, energetic live performance, and solid writing, Meg & Rob take the stage with confidence and wit whether they’re exploring the lives of divorced vaudevillians, timesharing children, or discovering whether living on the moon really is like being in heaven.

Meg & Rob are directed by Don Montrey. Meg currently lives in Los Angeles, and Rob is in Philadelphia. And no, they are not a couple.
