Overview
A new comedy series called Wags To Riches featuring your favorite actors and comedians with their real dogs.

Hello!

We are making a new comedy series called WAGS TO RICHES.

 

WAGS TO RICHES is a story about two middle aged guys who lose their jobs and decide to start a doggy daycare in their garage – because they think it sounds like it’s easy. Except neither of them knows anything about dogs. 

The show was written by us: Tony Camin and Ali MacLean.  We've written and performed on TV before. You can check out our credits below.

Now, this isn't just any comedy show. It's a chance to see your favorite actors and comedians - with their real dogs.

We have regulars on the show, like Mark Fite from Tenacious D's Festival Supreme and Two Headed Dog, and Samm Levine from Freaks And Geeks and Wet Hot American Summer. Plus a whole bunch of professional canine stars, who have more training than the both of us.

Each week a special celebrity guest star will come on with their dog, interacting with both the human and canine actors. Some people who have expressed interest in appearing on the show include: Tom Lennon, Neil Hamburger, Maria Bamford, Margaret Cho, Ron Lynch, Brian Posehn, Jon Daly, Iliza Shlesinger, Baron Vaughn, Lauren Weedman,  Howard Kremer, Mike O'Connell, Jerry Minor, and more.

We have some networks interested in our show, so we are raising money to make the pilot and show them how great it would be to see this on the air every week. It's funny and it has dogs, and who doesn't love funny dogs?

Plus, because we believe in comedy for good, a portion of the profits will be donated to Best Friends NKLA, a no kill shelter here in Los Angeles. So it's like we are making important art AND saving lives.

You can help us achieve our goal  - make the pilot and help dogs find homes!
