The Real Founding Fathers of America: History’s a Bitch
What would happen if The Real Housewives existed in the 18th century and starred six of the most famous, wealthy, powerful men in history? Meet The Real Founding Fathers of America as they navigate popularity, parties (both social and political), sex, spies, slavery, and their fragile egos as they figure out who will be the first leader of the young USA. Wigs will fly, tears will be cried, and shots will be fired. History has never been so FABULOUS!
Our aim is to use this mini pilot of The Real Founding Fathers of America as a proof of concept for a streaming or network series. When we filmed it in 2018 it was because, while we love history, we are tired of seeing these “complicated” historical figures being treated as spotless heroes. When we originally pitched to networks it felt “ahead of its time”, but 2020 has clearly illustrated that now is exactly the right time to tell this story. We have had a lot of success with historical comedy in the past and know we can use this series as a medium to reach people who wouldn’t normally listen, make them laugh, but also make them think about tough topics like racism, slavery, white privilege, income inequality, sexism, and homophobia.

We Are Thomasse’s own Sarah Ann Masse is taking the festival circuit by storm with her short film Tristan & Kelly!
While backpacking through Europe, an American tourist sprays a hapless British jobseeker with mace after he accidentally attacks her. They try to part ways but fate keeps throwing them together so they grab a drink and see where this connection takes them.
Starring Toby Sebastian (Game of Thrones, Trading Paint) and Sarah Ann Masse (We Are Thomasse, Have It All: The Movie), this unusual romantic dramedy gives us an intimate peek into what happens when the uncertainty of young adulthood combines with the complex dynamics of male/female relationships.

We Are Thomasse has 70,000 facebook fans and a glowing review for their 3 show run at The Toronto Sketch Festival!
Several months ago, facebook approached us to be a part of a pilot program for independent creators who have been dong well on their platform. We accepted their offer and saw our already significant fanbase grow by tens of thousands! It was a great learning experience and we look forward to nurturing our current fans and growing the base even larger.
Speaking of a growing fanbase… we were luck enough to be chosen to perform at the 14th Annual Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival this year which meant We Are Thomasse finally got to strut our stuff in Canada! After two awesome shows (one focusing on History and one focusing on Feminism) the Festival producers offered us a third show! We did a “best of” performance and had a wonderful time.
The audiences seemed to love us and so did this reviewer for The Extra Mile saying “Thomas and Masse share a natural, charismatic rapport that is to be expected from spouses, but what really makes them shine are their skills as character actors. With the addition of each new costume, prop, or affectation, Thomas and Masse transform into the characters they are portraying, creating a comedic experience that is impossible to turn away from. Boasting personalities that practically beg to be seen on screen, We Are Thomasse has utilized the digital age to their advantage, and have their now YouTube channel with over 1,000 subscribers.
Filled with intelligent humour, clever wordplay, and memorable characters, We Are Thomasse have crafted an enjoyable show that is guaranteed to delight and entertain audiences of all ages. Wherever you may find them, Canada, America, England, or even just YouTube, make sure to witness this revolutionary couple’s lovable take on sketch comedy.”

On August 7th at 7pm nationwide FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY… viral comedy duo, We Are Thomasse, will be featured in a new documentary from long time collaborator and friend, Grammy-winner Jason Mraz, titled Jason Mraz – Have It All The Movie. The married British-American sketch comedy couple, comprised of Sarah Ann Masse (The American) and Nick Afka Thomas (The Brit), star in a parody commercial they co-wrote with Mraz specifically for the film, which centers around the singer’s current hit single “Have It All.”
“One thing we’ve always loved about Jason Mraz and his music is that it combines a sense of humor with positive messaging,” Masse said about the duo’s experience with the singer. “We strive to do the same with our comedy and having him TRUST us to collaborate with him on this scale is such a gift.”This marks Sarah Ann Masse’s Big Screen debut as a producer and director as well!
