Back when we first conceived of the idea for Stand Down, we called in our comedian pal Dan Telfer to do a pilot. Telfer, who's toured with the likes of Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, and Brian Posehn, had a variety of tales of gigs gone awry to share. Just the setup of this one portends rough times ahead: Indian casinos. A mime. The mime's clarinetist wife, who accompanied him on stage. That doesn't even include the crossbows.
