From the artists who brought you the Orlando International Fringe Festival hits Obscenity and The Boy's Own Jedi Handbook comes an outrageous new satire of classic 1980's teen cinema... The Intrepid Traveler presents A KMK Production THE KARATE GUY Synopsis: 25 years ago Daniel-san was the Kid who learned the secrets of Karate (sort of) and won the big tournament. Today, he's nearly 40 and still living with his Mom. If he's ever going to get off the couch and get a girl, he'll have to confront his old rival Johnny -- now his boss at the Cobra Kai Car Wash ("Scrub First, Rinse Hard, No Soap Scum"). Can his mentor Mr. Miyagi finally teach Daniel his greatest lesson: how not to be a loser?

Especially from the '80s. And I'm still kicking myself for missing "Jedi Handbook" last year, also by the same artists behind this show, so I'm not making the same mistake twice. (Oh, and if you can't guess from the title, this show parodies Mr. Miyagi and Daniel-Son from the '80s classic "The Karate Kid.")” –Tanya Hanson, Metromix Orlando (4/14/09) “From KMK Productions, a clever comedy that massages the Mr. Miyagi funny bone. One “K” stands for Kubersky, as in Seth, our Live Active Cultures columnist and arts writer; the other “K” represents Christian Kelty, sandwiching the “M” of Michael Marinaccio. Those three names together equal big laughs.” – Lindy T. Shepherd, Orlando Weekly (4/16/09) One of The Daily City's Top 10 "Don't Miss" Fringe Shows: "The cast and creative team is talented and from what I hear, their past shows have been worth the ticket price."
