"Urgent & Confidential: Dean Cameron's Nigerian Spam Scam Scam" is a two person "multi-media" comedy lasting just under one hour.
After receiving spam email from a Nigeria, Dean Cameron assumed the identity of a sexually confused Florida millionaire, whose only companions are his houseboy and cats, and began a 9 month correspondence with the scammer. With Victor Isaac as the bewildered Nigerian, the show, taken from the actual letters, documents the hilarious relationship which descends into misunderstanding, desperation, and deception.
Originally performed over two evenings in Los Angeles at the Sacred Fools Theater as part of their very popular Crime Scene program, the show has also been performed for the "Professionals Against Confidence Crime" seminar in Chicago, James Randi's "Amaz!ng Meeting" in Las Vegas and the Skeptics Society monthly meeting at Cal-Tech in Pasadena, California.
To make the show a truly international experience, Dean and Victor took the show to the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, August 4-30, 2004, where they received rave reviews and played sold out shows.
After returning from Scotland, Dean Cameron's Nigerian Spam Scam Scam was remounted at the Sacred Fools Theater and ran for nearly four months, garnering even more rave reviews and feature articles in the Los Angeles Times, L.A. Citybeat and the popular Motley Fool web site.
"Spam Scam" performed two special late night shows April 22nd & 29th at the Sacred Fools Theater and will be returning to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland August 3-28, 2005.
