5 roles
(Lead) Confident, mischievous, the life of the party—but hiding insecurity under the surface. Patrick is a master storyteller, spinning wild tales to impress his friends. Must balance comedic bravado with vulnerability.
(Lead) Quick-witted, sarcastic, always ready with a joke or comeback. Patrick’s closest challenger at the poker table, Jason thrives on calling people out and keeping the energy high. Strong comedic timing required.
(Lead) A little more serious, skeptical, and grounded. Paul is the friend who questions Patrick’s antics but can still get swept up in the chaos. Deadpan delivery and subtle humor shine here.
(Supporting) Patrick’s crush. Awkward, genuine, and not as impressed by Patrick’s “moves” as he thinks. Needs to play both the tender and comedic beats in their clumsy romantic encounters.
(Day Player) Sharp, direct, and not buying Patrick’s charm for a second. A pivotal comedic role that shifts the tone of the story. Must have strong presence and timing.
