Our humor comes from each of us trying to surprise the other one.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Perez’s jokey storytelling, multiple voices and actorly character work stems from the manner in which his parents share the tales of their upbringing in Colombia and Peru, as well as their earliest days in the United States. </span></p><div id="emp-1208d" class="amp-action" style="text-align:center;"> <script type="text/javascript"> var divsize = document.querySelector('#emp-1208d').parentNode.clientWidth; var rnd = Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6); var pid560152 = rnd; var plc560152 = window.plc560152 || 0; var abkw = window.abkw || ''; var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=560152;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid560152+';place='+(plc560152++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER'; var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1]; document.write('<scr'+'ipt src="'+absrc+'" type="text/javascript"></'+'script>'); </script></div> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s funny, but as they speak, they transform, and become the people that they’re talking about,” says Perez. “They are very captivating that way….

I don’t think that I’ve been too precious about it all,” says Perez, excusing himself for his funny, bloody mess on social media. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Instagram is my sketchbook, a place filled with baby seeds of developing ideas and tones,” says Perez.</span> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a sign of emotional growth beyond their usual silliness, ‘I Have To Do This’ does tell an often obsessive story of romantic partnership, passionate sexuality and even free-falling vulnerability in its mix of stage work, stand-up, video and pantomime.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It does sound earnest, doesn’t it,” laughs Bardey. “Richard just happens to be an unusually gifted performer.”</span> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It is serious at times, but mostly hysterical,” says Perez. “I filmed a bunch of stuff, some disparate vignettes, that you’ll see where someone is pretending to kiss my ear while I’m washing dishes. I got into fights with this imaginary lover while cooking – the whole show is a lot of me talking to someone who isn’t there.”</span></p> <p>In ‘I Have To Do This’, Perez employs a meta, self-referential style of humor that playfully breaks the fourth wall, inviting the audience into the joke. The filmed scenes may seem like part of a play he’s developing—one with a strong pantomime element—but by the end, the result is poignant, revealing a deeper side to the typically lighthearted comedy duo.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There’s really something special here,” says Bardey.</span> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You can project your own imagination into what is there, on stage, and isn’t there,” says Perez. “And its poignancy? Doing the show feels like a fantasy coming to life. But the fantasy of ‘I Have To Do This’, and the emotional beats throughout the show… they’re often sad, a cinematic sort-of romance and love that isn’t necessarily true.”</span></p> <p><em>‘I Have To Do This’ hits the stage at PhilaMOCA, 12th and Spring Garden streets, on Thursday, Feb. 27.
