19 – Keep The Energy Up!

Short Story Cast

!!!PLEASE NOTE: THIS CONTENT IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN!!!

It’s hard to be a children’s entertainer when you’re wife has left you for her pilates instructor, you don’t have access to see your son anymore, you’re struggling to control your weight and your alcohol consumption and the demons in your head make it hard to keep your friendly YouTube persona up when you’re on camera. So filming a fun video at the laundromat isn’t easy for Cowboy Jim. In this short story, you get to learn about how this unlucky cowboy’s life is unravelling on him while he’s trying to get to the end of his video where he explains how to do laundry to kids without breaking down.

Keep The Energy Up is a short story written by James Winterbottom and performed by Ashe Russell.
It’s a parody of a YouTube video made by Cowboy Jack which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz6eQ_SfYBY.

The character in the story isn’t meant to be Cowboy Jack, it’s an entirely different character, who is trying to copy the kind of video Cowboy Jack makes but fails because he’s making the video for cynical reasons.
