In 2004, Jon did his thesis on us, The Better Boyfriends. The expansive essay accompanied the "White Christmas" show. This show essentially combined Irving Berlin's 'White Christmas' with Francis Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now', and stirred in some homoerotic poop jokes for good measure.

This was originally an onstage conversation between The Better Boyfriends and their Ukrainian counterpart, The Friendly Boys. Here, The Friendly Boys attempt to convince our Better Boyfriends of the merit of their soviet-centric entertainment methods. From "The Three Pigs".
Live Performance! Shot at the University of Chicago during the thesis performance. In attendence were the smartypantses that declared all this degree-worthy. The scene introduces Pete and Jon as the Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby characters respectively, and Mr. Erik Burns as General Waverly. www.betterboyfriends .com
