Previously, Joseph and Bill co-wrote MY MONSTER, a comic play that has performed in Minneapolis, San Francisco, Orlando, and the middle of the Caribbean Sea. The Orlando Sentinel called it a "laugh monster of don't miss status" and Orlando Weekly said the show was "hilariously hyperbolic crackling comedy!"
