During the summer of 2007 on the set of their independent feature film, Ro Sham Beau (in production), Max Santoro and Mookie Thompson formed an alliance with actor Zed K Cutsinger to create the sketch comedy troupe: Torture Rack. Since then theyv’e been writing and producing sketches full time.

Mookie, born and raised in Long Island, now lives in Brooklyn, he studies sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater and dreams of someday being in a three-some and/or playing for the New York Rangers.

Zed moved to New York City from California and started taking improv classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. He reads new comic books every wednesday, and awkwardly hits on girls at bars as often as possible.

Max has little-to-no real responsibilities and therefore can work full time on comedy. He resides in beautiful, sunny, Elmhurst, Queens. He considers himself a young Marlon Brando.
