Jack Perry and David Crabb
(Performer)
Jack Perry and David Crabb are both actors who perfom daily for each other and their dog Charlie, who they are obsessed with. You might have seen Jack on 30 Rock or as solider #87 in the Metropolitan Opera's production of AIDA. You might have seen David hosting the Moth or posting pictures of their dog Charlie at a cafe while supposedly writing a book. Their height differential is always hilarious to people. It's not so funny to David.
